MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) — A man is facing charges of making terroristic threats after police say he produced a menacing Facebook video that scared students at a suburban Atlanta high school.

A warrant states that Bridger Maxwell Carreau appears in the video wearing a tactical vest with a large knife and two guns. A police report says he threatened in the video to "go full deer hunter" and mentioned the dates Oct. 22-27.

Authorities wrote in the warrant that the video mentions Lassiter High School, and that it caused students and employees at the Cobb County school to fear for their safety.

Cobb County Schools Chief of Staff Angela Huff told The Marietta Daily Journal (http://bit.ly/1w8jvXF) that Lassiter students learned of the video last week and brought it to the attention of school administrators.
