"This was a very serious incident, and we take threats of violence very seriously," said a police spokesperson.

We are glad that we were able to resolve this situation without resorting to formal charges."
The incident has sparked a wider debate about the impact of social media on mental health and the importance of online etiquette. Many are calling for greater awareness of the potential consequences of posting harmful or offensive content online.
