12-year-old boy in court for accusations of
making terroristic threats to seven San Antonio schools
A 12-year-old boy was tried in court this past Wednesday, Sept. 11, after being accused of making terroristic threats to seven San Antonio schools. Texas Rangers and SAPD were able to track down and apprehend the minor on the evening of Sunday, Sept. 8.
An arrest was made after a concerning social media post began circulating online. The boy reportedly uploaded a screenshot of an assault rifle on Instagram, including names of San Antonio schools and dates in September. According to the San Antonio Current, the boy wrote a message under the image stating, “B ready cuh nt playin wi dis shyt,” and “Ya school getting shot no Kap 100%.”
At the hearing, the boy’s mother strongly advocated for her son’s innocence in court. However, District Court 436 Judge William Shaw denied the boy probation during the hearing because of the child’s history of similar allegations. The boy will remain detained until his next court hearing on Sept. 25.
