A 14-year-old student was arrested Thursday after they posted a threat on social media threatening a shooting at Oxnard High School. The Oxnard Police Department was able to determine that the threat was not credible by the end of the school day and the student responsible for posting this information was identified and arrested. The student admitted there was never a real threat to the school.
In a separate scare Friday, Pacifica High School students circulated a social media post threatening a shooting at the school planned for lunchtime. The school’s resource officer on campus identified the two 16-year-old students who posted the threat and they were arrested. Both students admitted to posting the message as a joke.
The three teens face charges of making criminal threats of violence to a school campus.
The safety of all students and campus staff will always be a top priority and the Oxnard Police Department takes every threat seriously.
