Fifth-grader arrested

The staff at Jordan Elementary on Thursday learned of a threat made by a student Wednesday.

A 5th-grade boy told others he was going to bring a gun to school. The students reported it Thursday, and upon investigating it, ECISD police arrested the boy on the Class A Misdemeanor Charge of Threat of Exhibition of Weapon on School Property or Bus, a news release said.

“As we have stated many times, and followed through with, school and school district leaders will continue to treat any mention of school violence seriously, and will continue to charge students criminally as well as apply school discipline if threats like this are made,” the release said.
