Northwest ISD’s Truett Wilson Middle School in Haslet, Texas, Thursday, May 2, 2024.

Three students in total have been found responsible for a document district officials said they collaborated on that outlined a plan to attack a middle school and named 32 students and staffers as targets, according to a letter sent by Northwest ISD to families on Monday.

All three have been charged with a felony terroristic threat, according to the district.

There were other students involved in the investigation, but they were not found to have engaged in a terroristic threat, according to the district.

In a statement obtained by NBC 5, Northwest ISD said a parent alerted administrators at Truett Wilson Middle School on Wednesday, May 1, about a "concerning document" and that while looking into the report the district discovered a detailed plan to attack the campus.

Northwest ISD confirmed the online document also contained a "watch list" of 25 students and seven staffers at Wilson Middle School.

The district partnered with the Fort Worth Police Department in the investigation.
