An Alameda County high school student has been arrested for allegedly threatening other students.
The Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District received an alarming report on Wednesday that a student at Livermore High School had threatened to harm other students during a disturbing exchange, KTVU reported.
The actions were immediately reported to the Livermore Police Department who launched an investigation.
"Thanks to the thorough and swift response of the investigating officers who worked throughout the night, an arrest has been made. The individual who made the remarks remains in custody and we are confident that any possible threat has been neutralized," said Dr. Kelly Bowers, superintendent of Schools, in a statement on Thursday collected by the television station. "School and activities will proceed as usual without interruption."
Despite the arrest, extra police have been assigned to the high school to monitor students’ safety this week.
"We commend the students who came forward in keeping with our 'See Something, Hear Something, Say Something' mantra to ensure our high school campus remains a safe and secure place for all students and all staff at all times," Bowers concluded.
