A Virginia woman was arrested on Friday after threatening to bring loaded guns to school during a school board meeting for Page County Public Schools.
The woman, Amelia Ruffner King, 42, threatened to bring “every single gun loaded and ready” to her children’s school in Luray, Virginia, in opposition to a mask mandate.
“My children will not come to school on Monday with a mask on, all right?” the woman said during a Thursday school board meeting for Page County Public Schools. “That’s not happening. And I will bring every single gun loaded and ready. I will see y’all on Monday,” she said before being cut off by a school board member then cut off King because she spoke for longer than the allotted three minutes.
As she walked away from the microphone, she repeated: “I’ll see y’all on Monday.”

Her outburst prompted officials to beef up police security, according to CBS News.
King was charged for making an oral threat on school grounds by Luray Police Department. The department posted on Facebook that she was released on a $5,000 unsecure bond.
