Several metro Atlanta schools will have an increased police presence Friday as a precaution after learning of rumored threats, some posted on social media, tied to Friday’s anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Gwinnett County schools spokesman Bernard Watson said Thursday more patrol units will be at North Gwinnett High on Friday.

“We are aware of the social media talk about threats at North Gwinnett High School and we have looked into them and have not been able to find any proof that the threats are real…” Watson said in a statement. He said parents have been notified about the rumors.
