Police arrest 15-year-old girl in California after she allegedly posted a threat on Snapchat saying she was going to commit a shooting at her high school.

Police have arrested a 15-year-old girl in California after she allegedly posted a threat on Snapchat saying she was going to commit a shooting at her high school on Thursday.

"The FBI did an incredible job of tracking this information down, did a great job of really doing the leg work in this investigation," Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer said at a press conference Thursday. Using GPS, police were informed at about 6:30 a.m. that previous posts to that Snapchat account were made from a home in Fresno and officers were immediately dispatched. When they arrived at the home, the woman who spoke to police said she was aware of the post and was the teen girl's aunt, according to Dyer.

"She, when confronted about the post, admitted to the officers that she did in fact make this threatening post, but was not able to determine, or at least convince the officers, as to why that post was made," Dyer said.The unnamed minor has been charged with making a terror threat in juvenile court. She will be facing"a substantial amount of time in custody," Dyer said.

wtf is wrong with the world why cant we all just have peace i mean damn

I am happy to see more police activities online. Many crimes are done through the Internet. The Internet is here to stay. Getting rid of it won't stop these crimes. We should've had police online since 1991, but we can't roll back time. We can act on the now.

What if somtimes some people know it's going to happen and they let it happen? 🤔

Everyone will get arrested about this.. kids think they're pulling a stunt out of it... it's dumb

Good. Keep em coming!

is she in math club?

instead of pulling the fire alarm

Good! Now Parents train your children that they cannot type anything they want on SocialMedia. That's about 4 YoungAdults that have been arrested/charged with Threats this week.

What was her skin color! What was the skin color of the kids she was going to shoot?! Please answer these important questions!!

Surely we can't infringe on her right to bear arms, though? I mean 2nd amendment
