Two students accused of making threats to Harper High School
HARPER, Texas - The Gillespie County Sheriff's Office said two students were arrested after making threats to Harper High School earlier this week.
What we know:
Gillespie County Sheriff Chris Ayala said deputies were contacted by Harper ISD on Wednesday about the potential threat.
Deputies met with the district superintendent and district police chief about the threat.
Investigators determined that a student had made a credible threat to students and staff. The boy was charged with two felonies and booked into a juvenile detention center.
The next day, investigators obtained a warrant for a second student who was also charged with a state jail felony and taken to a juvenile detention center. Ayala said the student has a second warrant pending.
