A Lee Road-area girl was arrested Thursday on a misdemeanor menacing charge after telling classmates she was going to bring a gun to school and shoot another classmate.
Deputies with the St. Tammany Sheriff’s Office became aware of the incident after a parent of one of the classmates contacted school administrators.
The 10 YO Lee Road Junior High student was issued a summons for Menacing.
After it was determined she did not have access to any firearms, she was released to a parent on a custodial agreement to appear in court.
St. Tammany Sheriff Randy Smith said they will continue to work with schools and investigate any and all threats made at the schools or to the students and faculty who attend them.
