NC substitute teacher accused of threatening mass violence at middle school

A substitute teacher in Albemarle, North Carolina, was arrested and charged Thursday after she reportedly threatened mass violence at a school.

Police said Khadija Wilkins, 43, was charged with threatening felony mass violence on education property and misdemeanor disorderly conduct in a public building.
