An OABCIG middle school student was charged with threats of terrorism after posting to social media about bringing a gun to school. According to the Sac County Sherriff’s Office, at approximately 3:00 a.m. on Sept. 30, an FBI agent made law enforcement aware of a Snapchat message containing a potential threat to the OABCIG Middle School. In the message, the student stated that they were going to bring a gun to the school. A joint investigation was completed by the Sac and Ida County Sheriff’s Offices, determining the threat was not credible. The student admitted to writing the message but did not have the means or intent to carry out the threat. The student has been referred to juvenile court officials for threats of terrorism, a class D felony. While law enforcement did not find the threat credible, increased law enforcement was present at OABCIG School District as a precautionary measure.
