HOUSTON - A Dobie High School student has been arrested for making a terroristic threat on Snapchat that went viral among students nationwide.
The threat was made on Snapchat and suggested the student was going to "take as many people as I can on Monday..."
The identity of the student has not yet been released.
Additional administrators and police officers will be on campus on Monday as an added precaution, the district said.
The investigation remains active at this time.
Pasadena ISD sent the following statement late Sunday evening:
"The safety of our students is our top priority. Pasadena ISD Police have not stopped investigating the alleged "dhs" threat. Our thanks goes out to the entire community, parents and students for providing tips and leads for these social media threats.
Until this evening, the alleged threat was not specific to a particular high school, however, local, state, and federal authorities continued their investigation.
Alabama authorities were able to trace the original Snapchat post.
As a result, a Dobie High School student has been arrested for making a terroristic threat. Although an arrest was made, this continues to be an active investigation.
