A Starpoint Middle School student has been arrested on a charge of making a terroristic threat, a Class D felony.
Niagara County Sheriff Michael Filicetti said the juvenile suspect from Lockport has been released into the custody of his parents and will appear at Niagara County Probation at a later date.
Filicetti said Starpoint school district officials worked with his department after learning Wednesday of a photograph shared on Snapchat, indicating possible violence against the school.
"All incidents of school violence threats will be investigated thoroughly," he said in a statement. "The safety of our school children is a top priority for this office."
