Anyone with more than a single braincell knows that in a case like this, there's a 99% chance that it's an empty threat. So, details should only be released after the situation is clear, and the media should ignore it unless it was a real threat.

In fact, when it comes to school shootings, the media should all but ignore them anyway. The amount of media coverage they tend to get is probably the single biggest reason they've become a trend. Giving the shooters hundreds of hours of media coverage only serves to satisfy the morbid curiosity of the public and to make it clear to other nutjobs that if they do something like that, they'll become famous.
