A 17-year-old Fremont student was arrested Wednesday in connection with threats of violence against schools on social media.
Fremont Police said Wednesday that staff at American High School notified police of a student making online threats around 9:45 a.m. According to an investigation by police and school resource officers, the student threatened gun violence against a school employee and made numerous racial epithets.
Soon after, officers contacted the teen and his parents off campus. Police executed a search warrant on the student's home, but did not locate a firearm. "I am extremely proud of the SRO's and detectives who took immediate action upon receiving this information. I am also thankful for the community members and parents who came forward, as well as the students who notified their parents of the concerning messages," Police Chief Sean Washington said in a statement.
