St. Tammany Parish Sheriff Randy Smith says they take treats against schools seriously. This after arresting a 15-year-old Covington Area Boy for terrorizing. The boy posted on social media that he planned to bring a gun to school and shoot someone who was spreading rumors about him. Investigators found he neither had a gun nor access to one, but he will now have to appear in court. The boy was released to his parents when it was determined there were no firearms in his home. Smith urges parents to speak to their children about the serious consequences of making threats.
