A 13 YO Lacombe-area boy was arrested Wednesday for menacing after he made a comment about shooting up his junior high school.
Deputies with the St. Tammany Sheriff’s Office were contacted by the school, and while the child was not in possession of any firearms, school personnel did find a live 40-caliber round in his bag.
The boy was issued a summons for Menacing and was released 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.
