Dozens of Georgia students arrested for threats | FOX 5 News
SUMMARY: In the aftermath of a recent school shooting, authorities have responded to a surge in school threats, leading to multiple arrests. Gwinnett County reported investigating about 300 social media threats in just 48 hours. Two teens face charges after separate incidents at Meadow Creek and Archer High, where one made threats to avoid school, and another falsely claimed an active shooter. Additional arrests include a 17-year-old and a 13-year-old in Hall County, and a 12-year-old in Athens for similar threats. Officials emphasize the seriousness of these threats, urging families to discuss the consequences with their children.
The Apalachee High School shooting has seemingly opened a floodgate of teens making terroristic threats. At least a dozen arrests have taken place at schools across Georgia since Wednesday’s deadly shooting.

Man missing in Lake Lanier after jumping in to swim
SUMMARY: Ramon Diaz Soria went missing in Lake Lanier after jumping from a boat during a birthday party around 7 p.m. despite wearing a life vest, as he couldn’t swim. Rescue crews, including Forsyth County Sheriff’s and Georgia DNR teams, searched through the night and resumed efforts today, but rough conditions halted sonar use. Ramon’s family, devastated, describes him as their light and father figure who cared for them and the community. They found a life vest floating but no sign of Ramon. The family pleads for prayers and community help in continuing the search if he isn’t found by tonight.
The family says he was boating with friends when he jumped in to swim. Family members told FOX 5 the man was wearing a lifejacket.
