Several students from Garland's Naaman Forest High School have been booted off campus for making threats online.

Garland police say the FBI spotted threats to kill and harm other students and moved in on Friday morning. Lieutenant Pedro Barineau says they made quick work of the matter.

"This morning we were advised by the FBI that they served up search warrants on some students at Naaman Forest High School regarding a threat that was online made by a group of those students," Barineau said. "The online communication referenced harming or killing other students at the school."

He says there is no immediate threat to the school. While he could not get into the number of students, he could say all were suspended indefinitely.
