TARRANT COUNTY, TX (1080 KRLD) - White Settlement police have arrested a middle school student accused of posting a video on instagram where he's seen pointing a gun and talking about another student at Brewer Middle School.
Police say a coach saw the video Tuesday night and reached out to both police and the school district.
When officers got to the home of the 13-year-old they confiscated an airsoft gun and arrested him for making a terroristic threat. Police say it happened before students and faculty arrived on campus Wednesday morning.

The district also contacted the family of the student mentioned in the video.
Police Chief Chris Cook says, "Fake threats like these will warrant real regrets with arrests. We will not tolerate social media posts that threaten other students, faculty or the community and work closely with White Settlement ISD to mitigate these types of incidents."
