Kentucky State Police Post 10 troopers charged two Harlan County High School students with second-degree terroristic threatening Saturday afternoon.

The two students made non-specific threats toward the school. While this is an open investigation and investigators are still following up on leads, they did say the charges are the result of an anonymous tip by another student.

An off-duty trooper received the complaint and troopers followed up immediately. Within hours, troopers charged two juveniles with making the threats.
