The Fond du Lac Police Department arrested three additional boys in connection with Monday's social media threat at Fond du Lac High School, in addition to the 16-year-old Arkansas boy who was identified as the threat's source.
The three boys are all students at Fond du Lac High School.
Investigators determined that all individuals involved are familiar with one another and had been playing an online X-Box live game when they developed the plan to send out the social media threat. Investigators indicated that the suspects stated that the Snapchat post was “meant as a joke” with the intent of causing school to be canceled Monday. Investigators have not found any evidence that the individuals involved were looking to inflict any actual violence at the school.
The three boys from Fond du Lac have been referred to Fond du Lac County juvenile court services on charges of party to the crime of making terrorist threats.
