FOND DU LAC (NBC 26) -- Police said a 17-year-old is under arrest for making terroristic threats that included a reference on a social media post to “shooting up the school”.
Police and the school district were first made aware of a social media threat made Thursday evening after classes had been dismissed. Police said that specific threat was found to be not credible.
Police said they then became aware of another threat made on social media, which apparently was related to a fight that happened between some students in the commons area during dismissal at Fond du Lac High School.
According to police, the threats made by the 17-year-old included a photo of a hand gun and a reference to “shooting up the school.” The 17-year-old boy was arrested and is currently being held in the Fond du Lac County Jail.
Police are using this incident as a reminder to parents to talk with their children about the lasting repercussions for people who make these types of threats.
