Police in Santa Rosa on Thursday said they issued an arrest citation for a 14-year-old boy who was overheard saying he was going to shoot up his school and was later found with a boxcutter on his middle school campus.
According to a Santa Rosa Police Department Facebook post, on Thursday morning, officers investigated an anonymous tip they received about a student at Slater Middle School making verbal threats that he was going to 'shoot up' his school and the school of a friend he was sitting with on a city bus. Police said the student also bragged about being in possession of large quantities of illicit narcotics, according to the community member who called in the tip to police.
The investigating officer ultimately determined the student was joking with friends and had no intention of bringing a firearm to school. However, the teen was issued an arrest citation for possession of a knife or cutting instrument on a school campus and released into the custody of his mother.
