A woman live-streamed a threat to harm herself on YouTube Saturday afternoon, and that got the attention of the FBI.
They contacted the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office just before 2 pm to say the woman had said in an Internet broadcast that she would shoot herself if she had a gun.
The SCSO checked the address provided and spoke to the woman’s son, who said she was now staying at a Sciotoville address but had threatened to harm herself in the past.
Portsmouth Police officers rushed over to the home but could not locate the woman. A neighbor reported she’d left earlier in the afternoon.
