A 13-year-old Jefferson County student has been arrested for terroristic threats against Pleasant Grove High School, with arresting officers finding multiple firearms in the student’s possession.

According to a spokesman with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s office, school resource officers took the teenager into custody at his residence at approximately 6:45 a.m. Wednesday morning.

The arrest came after administrators at the high school notified the sheriff’s School Resource Division around 9:15 p.m. Tuesday that the student had made a threat to “shoot up” the school.

Officials said the accused individual made the threat via Snapchat. The post reportedly showed him posing with a rifle.

Officers were able to locate and take possession of his weapons at the time of arrest. The JCSO spokesman said this included two rifles being confiscated. Prosecution will proceed through family court.

There is no threat to the school at this time.
