A 14-year-old freshman at Poway High School was taken into custody, accused of threatening another student according to law enforcement officials.
San Diego County sheriff’s deputies said a Poway HS student told his mother Thursday evening about the freshman’s threat to bring guns to school.
The student said he was in fear for his safety so his mother contacted the Poway HS principal deputies said.
Deputies questioned the freshman at his home and took him into custody without incident. He was booked into Juvenile Hall and will face a charge of making a terrorist threat.
Deputies say the suspect did not have access to firearms. They also said it appears no one else was involved in the threats.
Last month, a 12-year-old student sent a threatening email to a Twin Peaks Middle School administrator stating he planned to shoot a teacher and 23 fellow students at the school.
Within the last 30 days, other school threats were reported at Pershing Middle School and Coronado Middle School.
