 More than 900 students were absent Thursday at three Orange County schools that were named in social media threats -- including nearly a third of the student body at one campus. Parents at four Orange schools recorded phone messages on Wednesday saying the district was working with law enforcement agencies to investigate a "social media concern" after a man posted a series of messages on Twitter, threatening to shoot students and place pipe bombs inside campuses. The FBI, Orlando Police Department and Orange County Sheriff's Office said Wednesday they were looking into the threats, but didn't think they are credible. But large numbers of students stayed home Thursday, the fourth day of class for Orange students, from at least three of the four schools named. News outlets reported that on Thursday there were 379 absences at Orange's Liberty Middle School, 357 at Orlando's Boone High School and 174 absences at Orlando's Edgewater High School. The threats started on July 24 and have targeted William R. Boone High School, Edgewater High School, Colonial High School, Colonial Ninth Grade Center and Liberty Middle School, the Sheriff's Office said. Law enforcement officials are now looking for the man who posted the threats, 23-year-old Jesus Henry Kong, a transient who has lived in Florida, California, Virginia and Maryland. He is also known as Jessie Eloah Calix and Jesus Matute and officials say he has a "history of law enforcement encounters." (Video from Fox 35 Orlando) 
 
 The posts included messages encouraging people to shoot up the schools and his plans to place pipe bombs inside two different schools, deputies said. "I want to shoot a few (kids) at Liberty Middle School. I dislike homosexuals ... " one post said.
– More than 900 students were absent from Orlando-area schools on Thursday after authorities say a man on Twitter threatened to shoot students and put pipe bombs inside campuses, per the AP. There were reportedly 379 absences at Orange's Liberty Middle School, 357 at Orlando's Boone High School, 174 at Orlando's Edgewater High School, and an undisclosed number at Orlando's Colonial High School. The FBI said Wednesday it was looking into the threats, but didn't think they were credible. Authorities are searching for a 23-year-old transient named Jesus Henry Kong (aka Jessie Eloah Calix and Jesus Matute) they say is responsible. "Although the FBI does not believe that the threat is credible, as the subject does not reside in Florida, we will continue to work with local partners to locate the subject," said an FBI special agent on Wednesday, per the Orlando Sentinel. Kong has lived in Florida, California, Virginia, and Maryland.
