State Police and Cabell County deputies are at Cabell Midland High School Friday afternoon after alleged threats to harm students were posted on Twitter.

CMHS Principal David Tackett tells Eyewitness News that in addition to the deputy they have on campus each day, other investigators are on scene at this time.

Tackett says that the alleged threats made on the social networking site were posted anonymously, but included Twitter names of students at the school.

We're told that the school is operating on regular schedule.
