Two Teenage Girls Arrested for Threats of School Bombing in Texas
Darrell Scott, founder of Rachel's Challenge, joined 'Fox & Friends Weekend' on the anniversary of the Columbine shooting to discuss his organization's ongoing efforts to prevent future shootings.
Two teenage girls are in custody after allegedly threatening to place pipe bombs in a Montgomery County, Texas, high school, and open fire on students, according to police.
Spring Branch ISD police informed Fox News that the two teenage girls, aged 15 and 16, planned to place pipe bombs at Memorial High School before shooting students.
The 16-year-old girl, according to police, attends the school and was located there about 30 minutes after the threat was made.
The threats were reportedly communicated on social media and were extremely detailed, leading police to believe the threat was credible.
Neither student has been identified, though the 16-year-old has been charged with making a terroristic threat, a felony.
The FBI Houston office took credit for assisting in locating the two students before they could execute their plan.
The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office is conducting the investigation and noted that the students attended different high schools. One individual was in custody for unrelated charges, while the other was taken into custody in Harris County.
The sheriff's office emphasized, "The safety and security of our schools and community remain our highest priority. We understand the concerns this situation may cause for students, parents, and faculty, and we are taking every necessary precaution." Additional security measures have been implemented, and they continue to collaborate with school officials and law enforcement partners to ensure a safe environment.
