FDL Police Arrest Two For Threat At High School

Update:

Two teenage boys have been arrested for leaving a note with a threat in a hallway at the Fond du Lac High School. Assistant Police Chief Steve Klein says their school resource officers were able to develop information that helped them identify those who wrote and dropped the note. The note contained a reference to vulgar rap lyrics and made a threat about something that would happen at the school Thursday. He says it created panic and some parents probably kept their kids out of school even though there was an increased police presence. A 17-year-old and a 16-year-old are both facing charges for making terrorist threats; the younger teen was referred to juvenile authorities. Klein says there was no connection between that threat and threats that forced the closing of Oshkosh North and West High Schools Thursday. He says they hope the arrests send a message that making such threats won’t be tolerated.
