A juvenile has been arrested in connection with a school shooting threat that officials say was the result of a person’s social media being hacked. On Sunday, March 3, Johnson County Schools Superintendent Thom Cochran released a statement saying there had been a threat of a potential school shooting at Johnson County Middle School.

The statement said that a student’s social media account had been compromised and the individual, who Cochran confirmed was also a juvenile, was in custody. Cochran said the district determined there was no present danger to students at the district on Monday, March 4, but confirmed that the district would collaborate with the JCSO to place additional law enforcement on site at the middle school to give staff, students and parents peace of mind.
