The U.S has been actively affected by mass shootings everywhere, yet the California police arrested a teen for making online threats to shoot people at two separate schools on Wednesday.
Unarmed teen, made threats online, against a school employee and used “racial epithets” said the police. The Fremont, California school then contacted police, who identified the teen and arrested him Wednesday morning.
Later, the teen has been charged with felony terrorist threats and a hate crime, police said. The male teenager was a minor which is why the police did not reveal his identity.
“While numerous subjects were involved in this conversation, the student who was arrested made direct threats of gun violence towards the school employee. The student also made comments about committing additional gun violence at an unnamed secondary school,” police wrote in a statement.
“The arrested student is a 17-year-old male, and due to his age, his identity will not be released,” police added.
Police searched the teen’s home following the arrest and found “numerous pieces of evidence,” but they did not find a gun.
The arrest has made after the incident took place in Uvalde, Texas at Robb Elementary School shooting in which 19 children were killed including 2 teachers, by an 18-year-old Salvador Ramos. Ramos had also made threatening posts on social media ahead of his attack. Considering the following incident a 17-year-old boy has been arrested.
