Can HR get involved if a co-worker threatens me off work hours, to have me fired?

I received an instant message over the weekend, from a co-worker that accused me of gossiping about her to an ex-employee. She threatened to report me to HR and have me fired for gossiping about her. I did not do what she accused me of, and it's all hearsay on her part. Can I report her to HR for threatening me, even if it didn't happen during work hours? What obligations does HR have to protect me from threats and harassment?
