We have, however, made the proper notifications as we continue to work closely with our law enforcement and private sector partners to keep our community safe."

Georgia Emergency Management Agency Director Jim Butterworth told Channel 2 that his agency is working closely with the FBI, the Georgia Information Sharing and Analysis Center and others in evaluating the threat.
