LA PINE, OR -- A social media post threatening violence at a local school quickly went viral, Tuesday, leading to an arrest. The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office says the video post referenced a possible shooting and was originated by a student at La Pine Middle School.
The agency was notified just before 9 p.m. Deputies talked with several students and took one person into custody, although they have not said whether that suspect is a student at the school.
The investigation continues and families will see an increased law enforcement presence at area schools Wednesday.
