2 Cedar Park High School Students Arrested After Threat

CEDAR PARK, TX — Police arrested two Cedar Park High School students after a threat was made to the high school’s students and staff, officials said on Thursday.

The Cedar Police Department said officers on Wednesday, Dec. 11 at approximately 9 p.m., responded to a call from a parent saying her child showed her a social media video of two young boys threatening to cause harm to those at the school, police said in a press advisory.

Officers quickly identified the two students involved in the video before arresting them early Thursday morning on a charge each of making a terroristic threat. The two students were transported to the Juvenile Justice Center in Williamson County.

"While we do not believe there is any active threat to students and staff, this remains an ongoing investigation and to ensure safety, we will have extra patrols monitoring the Cedar Park High School campus," police wrote. "We also want to use this time to remind students, parents and the community that if you see something, say something. Violent threats are no joking matter and are taken seriously by our officers and agency partners."
