KSP: Spencer Co. school threat intended for schools in New York

TAYLORSVILLE, Ky. (WTVQ)- State Police say they responded to a terroristic threatening complaint at Spencer County High School, but was actually intended for two schools in New York.

Investigators say they were looking into a social media threat, believed to be a possible shooting at Spencer County High School and Waggener High School in Louisville.

After investigation, it was determined that the threat originated from Staten Island, New York. Investigators say the threats were intended for Tottenville High School and Susan Wagner High School, in Staten Island.

KSP says a 16-year-old suspect was arrested in Staten Island. They say the original social media post was misunderstood by a student in Kentucky who believed the threats were intended for Kentucky Schools.
