Staff Sgt. Grant Obst sought to reassure parents, staff and students at a news conference Wednesday afternoon. “There is a working theory that this would be an extremely misguided, misjudged joke.” Obst said police first became aware late Tuesday night of a social media post showing what appeared to be a floor plan of Holy Cross High School, annotated with detailed plans to commit a mass shooting, with Dec. 17 identified as the date for the purported attack. “(Patrol officers) were on it right away. They worked it right away,” Obst said, adding that they tracked down the source of the post within about three and a half hours, then arrested a 16-year-old boy at his home. The boy is charged with uttering threats. He was released on conditions including that he not be at Holy Cross. While the alleged threat proposed multiple attackers using firearms, Obst said police were confident no other suspects were involved. He said the arresting officers did find what could loosely be classified as replica firearms, but “they certainly wouldn’t be anything that would be capable of doing what was outlined on the diagram; in fact, a search of the home recovered nothing that would be anything that we would be worrying about with respect to that type of an attack.”... :shocked:“For God’s sakes, give your head a shake.”:shocked:....
