Authorities said a 10-year-old Lee Road Junior High student was arrested Thursday after being accused of telling classmates she was going to bring a gun to school and shoot another student.
St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies said they were informed about the incident after a parent contacted school administrators.
The student was issued a misdemeanor summons for menacing and authorities determined she did not have access to any firearms. She was released to a parent and will appear in court at a later date.
This marks the sixth incident involving school gun threats since August in St. Tammany Parish, including the arrest of a junior high student on Monday.
