FRISCO (WBAP/KLIF News ) – Frisco Police arrested a 13-year-old student in connection to an online threat made against several Frisco ISD campuses on Sunday.
Investigators say the teen is a Maus Middle School student.
She was taken into custody on Monday and booked into the Collin County Jail on a misdemeanor charge of exhibition, use, or threat of exhibition or use of firearms.
The threat came a day after the deadly Allen mass shooting that claimed the lives of eight people and a shots-fired scare at Stonebriar Mall. Frisco police responded and found no evidence of a shooting at the mall.
The department wanted to stress the importance of the community to report any types of threats, online or in-person.
“Our students also bear responsibility in keeping our schools safe and I applaud those who stepped up and reported this threats. Thank you for doing your part to create and maintain a safe environment for you and your classmates,” said Frisco Police Chief David Shilson. “However, to the young people who make threats against our school campuses…let me be clear. It’s not a game, it’s criminal. Each threat that is received will be taken seriously and investigated fully. Out officers will work around the clock to ensure that those who choose to spread fear and panic are identified and arrested, like the 26 subjects so far this school year. Our department will work with the district attorney’s office in each county to ensure that those responsibly will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
Frisco police said they’ve arrested nine people for school-related terroristic threats and seventeen people for threat of exhibition since the start of the 2022-2023 school year.
