West Fargo police make arrest at middle school after threat

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A young person was arrested for making violent threats on social media at a West Fargo middle school. The West Fargo Police Department said students at Liberty Middle School tipped a security officer to the threat made on Snapchat Thursday (Dec. 9, 2021). Police made the arrest roughly an hour after the threat was reported. Police say the young person did not intend to carry out any of the violent acts. But they arrested the individual because the threat caused fear and safety concerns.
