After further investigation, the Lockhart Police Department has arrested three females, a 16-year-old and two 15-year-olds, in connection to a threat written on a girls’ bathroom wall at Lockhart High School. All three could face terroristic threat charges—a felony.
“As part of the ongoing investigation, the Lockhart Police Department and Lockhart ISD learned additional details surrounding the threat, which led to these arrests,” Lockhart Police Chief, Ernest Pedraza, said. “This threat against the school caused significant community distress and is not a matter to be taken lightly.”
Lockhart Police will continue investigating the incident, though investigators do not believe there are other persons of interest.
Due to the suspects being under the age of 18, their names will not be released to the public.
