A high school student was arrested and two other elementary school students have been suspended from their respective schools in LaFourche Parish for alleged threats. Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Lt. Brennan Matherne says a 15-year-old male threatened to kill South Lafourche High School teacher.
Also on Wednesday, a 12-year-old from Larose-Cut Off Middle School and an eight-year-old at Lockport Lower Elementary school told others about their intent to bring a gun to school. Matherne says even though neither of them were in possession of any weapons, they are being evaluated.
Matherne says they investigated several other allegations and threats at other schools Wednesday and most were found to be untrue. He says in the threats they did confirm with the three juveniles, the suspects acted alone.
Additional deputies have been assigned to LaFourche Parish schools with the increase in threats since the Florida school shooting.
