A Snapchat post threatening violence at South San High School is under investigation after it was flagged by the FBI.
The post included a picture of bullets on a tray and a warning to others not to go to South San High School, said Laurie Salazar, the district's public information officer.
The FBI immediately flagged the Snapchat post and contacted South San High School. Within 10 minutes, the student was taken into custody by South San ISD Police. The student was apprehended around 9 a.m. Thursday.
South San ISD Police, San Antonio Police and the FBI worked closely on the incident.
The district sent a letter home to parents stating that even though the individual said the post was a joke, the district’s leadership team takes all reports seriously. Students are encouraged to report information about potential threats.
