A 14-year-old Simsboro High School student was taken into custody Thursday after allegedly “making threats to shoot up” the school.
Lt. Matt Henderson of the Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office said a LPSO school resource officer and school officials have been investigating the alleged threats.
“The child’s guardians were contacted and notified of the incident and brought the child in for questioning,” Henderson said. “The student and other students from Simsboro High were interviewed. No firearms were located at the school nor is it believed any firearms were ever at the school.”
Henderson said the student is facing a charge of terrorizing and is being held at the Green Oaks Juvenile Detention Center in Ouachita Parish.
