A Hurst high schooler is facing multiple charges after police say she made threats to students and staff over the course of several days, according to Hurst Police.
The girl, a student at LD Bell High School, used messaging applications to send threats to students and staff to their personal cellphones, police said.
The threats involved bringing firearms and homemade explosives to school to harm other classmates and staff, according to police spokesman Sgt. Lonnie Brazzel.
Brazzel said no firearms or explosives were ever found at the school, and no actual danger was ever uncovered.
The threats began on Jan. 9 of this year.
The student was arrested at the school without incident and booked into the Tarrant County Juvenile Detention Facility. There is no mug shot available because she is under age.
The girl has been charged with nine felony counts of Terroristic Threat, according to police.
