SAN ANTONIO — Two 13-year-old students at a far west side middle school have been arrested after they allegedly sent threatening text messages to a teacher.
BCSO says deputies were sent to Briscoe Middle School located in the 4000 block of Lone Star Parkway in the Northside ISD around 10:30 am on Monday.
Deputies arrived and found that two 13-year-old juvenile males had made threats to harm a teacher via text. The two students were arrested for terroristic threat.
During this incident, BCSO received another report that a student had a weapon at the same school.
Officials searched the student's backpack and locker, and did not find a weapon.
BCSO says it appears to have been allegations stemming from a rumor.
Law enforcement stresses that no weapons were found at Briscoe Middle School during either of the two incidents.
Investigations into these incidents are currently ongoing.
