Columbia County School officials say incidents are under investigation at two Columbia County Schools today.

At Greenbrier High School, a student reportedly made a phone call during class, requesting a firearm from an unidentified person.  No threat was made, but officials say, "we are investigating the inappropriate action.  No firearms have been located on campus and it is not believed the student has access to a firearm."  The student's parents and the Columbia County Sheriff's Office were notified.

At Grovetown Middle School, officials say a student threatened violence directly toward another student today.  Officials say the student had no access to firearms, but another student reported hearing the threat.  The student has been charged with terroristic threats.  Students involved in both school incidents today will also be held accountable according to the school system's code of conduct, according to a statement from district officials.

The incidents did not cause a disruption to the school day at either facility.
