LAKE CHARLES, La. (KLFY) -- A middle-school student in Calcasieu Parish was arrested after threatening his school, authorities said.
Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office detectives were dispatched at approximately 1 p.m. Tuesday to Moss Bluff Middle School in reference to a threat made by a student. Officials said the 13-year-old boy made a threat to bring a gun to school. He was arrested and booked into the Juvenile Detention Center and charged with terrorizing-menacing.
Calcasieu Parish Sheriff Stitch Guillory said the safety of the students and schools is his department's "top priority."
“CPSO and CPSB have been doing everything within our power to maintain a secure and supportive environment for our students." Guillory said. "Unfortunately, some individuals have chosen to disrupt that peace through irresponsible actions. We urge parents to have open conversations with their children about the consequences of making threats."
The Calcasieu Parish School Board assisted CPSO with the investigation, Guillory said.
