Caddo Parish Sheriff’s detectives arrested a juvenile for making a threat to harm someone at school.

Shortly after the morning bell detectives arrested a C.E. Byrd High School student for threating gun violence at school through a social media post. The threat was reported by another student who saw it on Instagram.   

During the investigation, detectives were able to determine the identity of the student who posted the message. Contact was made with the juvenile and their mother. With the parent present the student was arrested and read their Miranda rights. Shortly after being read their rights, the student admitted to posting the message because of anger toward a teacher.
