This is the fifth and sixth school to have been named in social media threats. The first two were John Marshall Mid-High School and Northeast Academy on Thursday. The district was notified on Friday of reported threats made against Centennial Mid-High and U.S. Grant Mid-High.
A 17-year-old girl was arrested in connection with the social media threats made against John Marshall and Northeast Academy. Investigators said she created a social media account under another person's name to send out the threat.
She was booked into the Berry House on complaints of terrorism hoax and false impersonation.
