A fifth-grade student has been arrested for making terroristic threats against the South Texas School District, according to the school’s principal

KNIPPA, Texas – A fifth-grader was arrested Wednesday after making terroristic threats to students and staff, according to the Knippa Independent School District.

In a letter sent to parents Tuesday, Knippa ISD Superintendent Benny Hernandez said the district was informed about a fifth-grader who had a list of student and teacher names.

From there, the district conducted an investigation and contacted law enforcement and the parents of students whose names were listed in the matter.

Following her investigation, Hernandez sent an updated memo to parents and the community on Thursday saying they had filed charges against the now-former Knippa ISD student.

Hernandez told KSAT that the former student was charged with terroristic threats.

It is currently unknown how serious the threats were or whether the fifth grader made them to the names on the list.
