possible harrasment

[teampurple]

I live in Pennsylvania.

I saw on a social media site a post directed towards me with a threat. Upon reading comments the lady made multiple comments about "beating me up" and harming me physically, as well as her sister also made threats. A few other people commented not nice things about me and the comments with threats were recieving likes. Then her sister went to her social media posting a threat also with my name on it as well as a following post reading "wheres my gun" & "something crazy coming soon". The whole situation is ugly as a publicized military man posts guns he has and announces her access to use them. I called the police dept and asked what could done if threats were made towards you and she said I could sue in court for harrasment.
My questions are as follows:

Is harrasment the only thing I can sue for? What about terroristic threats?

Do I have to sue more than 1 person then?

What are the possible punishments for someone found guilty of this? ( because I have all the paper proof)

Are those who made the threats identified? Or are they posting anonymously?

If any one of those who is posting threats is identified, do you know this person? Does this person reside in Pennsylvania?

As a note, most social media sites will remove objectionable content upon request if the content violates the terms and conditions of the site.
