LaGrange Police have arrested the individual believed to be responsible for a shooting threat against Troup County Schools that has been circulating on social media.

A 15-year-old male juvenile was arrested Monday afternoon after police were able to connect him with the threats.

According to LaGrange Police Public Information Officer Jeremy Butler, the undisclosed juvenile is a local student. The juvenile is currently being processed and will be charged with 11 felony counts of making terroristic threats.

The social media post said, “If you tired of school Imk I will be heading down to the troup county school and I will be shooting them up the school im heading for is Lagrange high school, Callaway hight [sic] school, Troup high school, Long Cane middle schoo [sic], Garden newman middle school, Callaway middle school, Clearview elementary, west point elementary, Ethel kight elementary school Rosemont elementary, Franklin forst [sic]” is under investigation.

Local law enforcement was aware of the social media post that has been shared multiple times.

Police said they have not received any credible threats to a specific campus, but they take these threats very seriously.

Troup County Sheriff’s Office Public Information Officer Lt. Stewart Smith confirmed a sheriff’s investigator is working with LPD detectives to identify who made the original post.

“Since the tragedy in Barrow County last week, we have already increased patrols at our local schools and that will continue. Please talk to your kids about the importance of sharing information that they see or hear that is of concern,” LPD said in a press release.
