September 14, 2022 – Specialized Investigations Division detectives this afternoon arrested a 14-year-old Maplewood High School freshman for creating an Instagram post threatening to shoot up the school. The post was first seen this morning, prompting a several hour investigation. The student was identified with the assistance of Instagram and taken into custody at his home.
The teen is charged at Juvenile Court with threatening mass violence in a school and making a false report of an emergency.
A similar electronic threat of gunfire today at Stratford High School remains under active investigation.
Threats against schools, special events and businesses are taken very seriously by the MNPD.
