A Virginia mother who threatened to bring loaded weapons to her children’s school over a mask mandate was charged Friday by the Luray Police Department.
Amelia Ruffner King, 42, was charged with a violation of a Virginia statute that prohibits oral threats of bodily harm on school property.
King attended a Page County School Board meeting on Thursday where video footage showed her protesting against a mask mandate.
“All right, no mask mandates,” King can be heard saying.
“My child — my children will not come to school on Monday with a mask on. All right, that’s not happening. And I will bring every single gun loaded and ready to — I will call every—,” King said before she was interrupted by school officials.
