Another Student Arrested For Online Threat At Harmony School

KATY, TX — A second student from the Harmony School in Katy has been arrested after making a threat of his own against the school.

The boy, a 15-year old student, is the friend of a 15-year old boy who was arrested on Friday after the boy allegedly showed a picture of students fleeing from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida, and threatened that the same would happen there at the Harmony School campus in Katy, officials said.

Officials said that 15-year old boy in this incident was angered at his friend’s arrest, and posted a threatening message on Snapchat, KPRC reported.

On Friday, Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls held a press conference in Richmond announce the arrest of the 15-year old boy, and a 14-year old student who’d made a threat at Billy Baines Middle School in Missouri City.

Both of the boys were charged with terroristic threat, a third degree felony, and were taken to the Fort Bend County Juvenile Detention Center.

"This isn't fun and games," Nehls said Friday. "Once it reaches us here, the game is over. It's no fun anymore. We take these threats very seriously."

Nehls once again urged parents to speak with their children about making threats like these.

This is the latest in a series of threats leveled at Houston area schools since the Valentine’s Day massacre of 17 students and staf members in Parkland, Florida.
