MARIN COUNTY, Calif. (KRON) — One minor was arrested after the individual threatened violence towards Davidson Middle School in San Rafael through social media messages, school district leaders said in a letter sent on Saturday.
Instagram messages discovered Thursday said the school was going to be targeted on Monday.
Detectives went to the minor’s home and arrested him Saturday afternoon, according to a press release by San Rafael police.
The individual did not have the means to execute the threats posted on social media, the release said.
Threats of violence are taken seriously, and there will be an investigation by San Rafael police, says San Rafael City School Superintendent Jim Hogeboom and Davidson Middle School Principal Michael Stachon.
The school district will follow up on Sunday and tell students and their families what the plan will be for classes on Monday.
