Slidell Police Detectives arrested a Slidell High student yesterday for Terrorizing following an investigation into a Snapchat post that was posted and circulated on social media.
The student made up a rumor that a school shooting was going to take place by “this kid” (as referred to in the Snapchat post), and spread it across social media.
Slidell Police said they take all school threats, whether rumor or not, very seriously.
This case was investigated by detectives from both Slidell Police and the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office.
Law enforcement officials encourage students and parents to take the proper steps when reporting threats, rumors or suspicious behavior…which are your School Resource Officer, a school official, or filing a report with your local law enforcement agency.
