Three students facing arrest after posting ‘fake’ school threat on social media
– Three students are facing arrest for posting a threat against a San Antonio middle school, Southwest Independent School District officials said on Monday.In a letter to parents, Scobee Principal Jorge Cruz said the school followed safety protocols and put the school into a “secure” mode while the information was shared with the district police. SWISD police worked with the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office and San Antonio police to track and trace where the threat came from.
District officials confirmed Monday afternoon that while the threat was deemed “fake,” SWISD police “are in the process of arresting three students.” “We ask our parents who come across any social media posting to report it directly to police and/or school administrators so that we may thoroughly investigate and take appropriate action, you can call our SWPD at 210-622-4800 or text @REPORTIT at 1-833-625-0498,” Cruz said in the letter.
Cruz urged parents to talk to their children about the serious repercussions of threats, regardless if they’re fake or not. “Individuals caught will be subject to disciplinary action, expulsion, restitution, and potential penal code consequences,” Cruz said.Julie Moreno has worked in local television news for more than 20 years.
