WASHINGTON (AP) — Police on Friday arrested a 15-year-old boy on charges related to threats on social media that prompted an increased police presence at multiple schools in Washington, D.C.
Parents at several different Washington schools were notified Thursday by public school administrators of “threats being made on multiple platforms targeting various high schools throughout the District.”
Simultaneously, the Metropolitan Police Department announced that it was “actively investigating an anonymous threat made to local schools.”
A police spokesman told The Associated Press that there were no reported incidents Thursday at any of the local schools.
