ECISD police on Thursday arrested a 14-year old boy from Wilson & Young Middle School after seeing a social media picture of him holding a gun and threatening to shoot others at the school.
The boy admitted to sending the message, but said it was a joke for his friends.
“As district leaders continue to remind students, parents and our community these threats will always be taken seriously and will result in an arrest,” a news release said.
The student is charged with Threat of Exhibition of a Firearm on Campus or Bus, a Class A Misdemeanor.
