Last year, a 13-year-old girl admitted to authorities that she used several Instagram accounts to make threats of violent attacks on Philadelphia schools by clowns.
‘This juvenile indicated that this “prank only” was committed with a friend at her school and she never had any intent to harm anyone,’ a release from police said at the time.
In one post, a photo of a clown holding a gun was shared along with the caption” ‘Coming to Neuman Goretti on Monday!! Gonna shoot all the kids and teachers.’
