Rocque posted a message to his alleged attacker

saying they are 'done'.

Police say such messages can escalate quickly.

"If a young person is on the Internet and they are

making comments that are threatening in nature,

they need to realize we could be looking at

ongoing police investigation," said Sgt. Kelly

• Remain alert

• Keep a low profile

• Trust your instincts
