TikTok challenge causes schools across the country to take precautions | LiveNOW from FOX

A new TikTok challenge has caused schools across the country to take extra precautions on Friday. It's unknown where the TikTok school threat came from but the challenge suggests numerous school shootings will take place on December 17. In Maryland, authorities say a 13-year-old has confessed to creating a fake social media profile to make threats against a Frederick County school in connection with the TikTok challenge. Officials say the teen told detectives he created the account as a "joke" to make threats against Ballenger Creek Middle School and denied having any plans to shoot anyone.
