Buffalo Township Police plan to charge a 16-year-old Freeport High School student with making terroristic threats.
District officials sent a letter to parents Friday, detailing that a student was removed from a classroom for making “inappropriate and threatening statements.”
District officials called police, who interviewed the boy and five witnesses.
Police plan to file juvenile charges against the boy.
In an unrelated incident, Freeport school officials found a .22-caliber bullet inside a South Buffalo Elementary School classroom earlier this month.
In a letter sent to parents on Feb. 19, Superintendent Ian Magness said, “School safety is undoubtedly on the minds of everyone. At Freeport, many of you have recognized the many improvements and additions we have made over the past several years with a focus on school safety- not the least of which include our professional and caring school police officers.”
