DUMFRIES, Va. - Additional police officers will be on patrol after threatening graffiti was discovered in a bathroom at Potomac High School in Dumfries.
The graffiti found last week indicated a student was planning to bring a weapon to school on Tuesday, according to Prince William County spokesman Jonathan Perok.
