A 13-year-old boy has been charged with terrorizing after making threats to “shoot up the school.”

Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Kayla Vincent said Safe School deputies were notified just before classes ended on Friday that a student Bell City High School was making threats.

She said it is alleged the boy told other students about having a gun in his backpack and threatened to shoot up the school.

A search of the boy revealed he was not in possession of any weapons, Vincent said.

After further investigation he was arrested and booked into the Juvenile Detention Center and charged with terrorizing.

CPSO Safe School Deputy Cornell Guidry is the arresting deputy on this case. Det. Clay Planchard is the lead investigator on this case.
