A group is urging people to kill service men and women on U.S. soil.
One of those military members on the list is from Dauphin County.
In the small borough of Williamstown, Pa, patriotic pride is visible.
Flags hang from several homes and military families openly speak out about their service to our country.
A pro-ISIS group would disrupt these quiet streets by targeting a hometown soldier.
The soldier is one of 100 service men and women whose information is on a kill list.
"I guess because I'm in a little town I think it's not going to come this close," said Gail Paul.
A group known as the Islamic State Hacking Organization, until now unknown to the U.S., is calling for beheadings and attacks right in the United States.
On its website names, pictures and home addresses are all posted of service members from all branches of the military and all ranks.
69 News spoke to the soldier's mother from Williamstown on the phone.
We are not revealing the soldier's name.
She says she has no idea why her child would end up on the list.
Another women whose name we won't reveal is in The National Guard as is her husband.
The military mother of three said although fighting ISIS could mean another deployment for her family terrorism must stop.
She said, "At the same time I think that something needs to be done before something really bad happens."
The FBI is looking into the issue.
They released this statement saying "The FBI is working with the Department of Defense on this matter. We take all threats to U.S.
military members seriously and will continue to work in concert with our federal, state, and local partners to address these online posts."
