The suspect was arrested on campus and charged with making a Terroristic Threat, a third degree felony. That juvenile is now in the Fort Bend County Jail juvenile facility.

"This is not a game or a way to get attention", said Sheriff Troy Nehls. “I once again urge parents to have a conversation with their children regarding the seriousness of threatening posts.”
