The two 15-year-olds were trying to out rap each other in videos posted to a social media site. One of the teens created a video on Facebook disrespecting the other teen, who then made a video in retalition, according to the report. That video included threats, according to police.
The videos were forwarded on to friends, who were alarmed enough to go to school administrators.
