Caldwell County School Superintendent Nate Huggins says school safety is a high priority after a juvenile is arrested for a supposed school shooting threat.
Huggins states that school officials must always treat these types of threats seriously.
Princeton Police Chief Chris King says that officers were notified of a non-specific threat of a school shooting made in an online game just before 7:30 Monday night. He adds that officers and detectives began investigating immediately and were able to identify a suspect, a 15-year-old juvenile who is currently enrolled in the Caldwell County School System.
Huggins adds that the student was taken into custody Monday evening.
Chief King states that he does not believe there are any other ongoing threats to the school system and notes all schools will operate on their normal schedules for the remainder of the week.
