A student at Chestatee High School (CHS) was placed in juvenile detention for making
threats against the school and teachers at the facility – the latest known such incident locally since the Apalachee High School incident.
HALL CO. SHERIFF’S OFFICE (HCSO) NEWS RELEASE:
“The 15-year-old male student was reported to school officials by other students who overheard the
offender making comments while waiting at a school bus stop Thursday morning, saying he was
tired of school and wanted to “shoot up” the school and his teachers.
The CHS school resource officer (SRO) traveled to the student’s home and seized a laptop and tablet that contained evidence corroborating the threat reports overheard by the other students.
The teen was subsequently arrested and transported to the Gainesville Regional Youth Detention
Center (RYDC) on charges of terroristic threats and disruption of schools.”
