Union County Sheriff's Office still looking for motive why former bus driver would shoot up school

UNION COUNTY, NC (WBTV) - Union County Sheriff's Office says it took a lot of leg work to find the person responsible for writing a threat on Facebook indicating shooting up Porter Ridge Middle School.

Investigators say 32-year-old Lashauna Beachum used a fake Facebook account to make the post. Investigators used internet services and Facebook to track down Beachum.

"We did link the origin on the post back to a residence where she actually lived with some others," Union County Sheriff's Office Chief Communications Officer Tony Underwood said.

Underwood says officers checked to see if Beachum had weapons to carry out the threat to shoot up Porter Ridge Middle School.
