Simultaneously, deputies interviewed the other student involved at his home in Hebron. Deputies say the student showed a Snapchat post that he sent to other students stating, “don’t come to school tomorrow,” which was accompanied by a green gun emoji and a dynamite emoji.

Both students are charged with Terroristic Threatening (Class D Felony).
