The Casa Grande Police Department is investigating threats made to Cactus Middle School and McCartney Ranch Elementary School.
The Casa Grande Police Department on Wednesday responded to Cactus Middle School and McCartney Ranch Elementary School to investigate an online threat.
Investigating officers discovered the post was created by a sixth-grade student, age 11, at Cactus Middle School. The student made the post to convince their friend's parents to let the friend skip school for the day. Police said the 11-year-old used a stock image from the internet and added a threatening message to it.
The officers remained on both campuses to ensure safety during the investigation. During this time, Cactus Middle School staff reported an eighth-grade student, age 13, was found with a fake handgun. Officers went to the school and determined there was no active threat and began to investigate the incident.
