If the threat is being voiced, in person, to the individual they are threatening, then it is THAT person's responsibility to take action, if any. If you overhear someone planning, or plotting, or threatening to kill someone who is not present - as a good citizen you should bring the information to the attention of law enforcement with as much supporting information as possible. You may be responsible for saving a life. People seldom voice threats like that to absent persons.
