Police in Virginia said a woman has been charged after she claimed at a school board meeting she would show up with loaded guns if her children were required to wear masks at school.
The board had been debating Covid-19 mitigation measures as the Omicron wave continues to cause significant community transmission.
During the public comment section, local resident Amelia King, 42, became confrontational with the board.
“My children will not come to school on Monday with a mask on,” King said. “Alright? That’s not happening. And I will bring every single gun loaded and ready to… I will call every…” King was then cut off for going over the three-minute time limit, and she replied, “I’ll see y’all on Monday.”
