LAKEWOOD — A Lakewood High School student was arrested Nov. 4 after reportedly making a threat to “shoot up” the campus, officials said.

Police got a tip about 7 p.m. Wednesday. The 16-year-old boy reportedly admitted to the threats. He was booked into juvenile detention for investigation of “threats to bomb or injure,” sheriff’s spokeswoman Shari Ireton said.

The district sent a letter to parents the next day that did not describe the nature of the threat. It said that no students or staff were in danger, and class schedules weren’t affected. Police were on campus Thursday. There was no sign that the student had made plans to carry out the threat, according to the letter.

“The high school has issued appropriate discipline to the student,” district spokeswoman Robin Barker said Nov. 6. “We cannot provide specifics as the student is a minor.”
