Student arrested over Snapchat threat
A student has been arrested over a threat against Sam Rayburn High School made on Snapchat.

PASADENA, Texas (KTRK) -- A high school in the Pasadena ISD has become the latest target of a threat.

The district said Monday morning that the Pasadena ISD police department received a tip about a threat on Snapchat against Sam Rayburn High School.

Pasadena ISD also added that the police department began to investigate immediately and arrested a student for making a terroristic threat.

It said in a statement: "As a precaution, additional district personnel and Pasadena ISD Police Department are on site today at Sam Rayburn High School."

This comes as several Houston-area schools have had to deal with threats over the last two weeks since the shooting at a Florida high school that killed 17 people.

These are just some of the school districts where students have been charged with making terroristic threats following the deadly school shooting in Parkland, Florida last week.
