CARSON CITY, Nev. – On September 30, 2024, just before 9 p.m., the Carson City Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) received a call that referenced Instagram direct messaging between students at Carson City Middle School. The messages were directed threats from one student to another, according to CCSO.
After a brief investigation, it was determined that the suspect was positively identified with a location in Carson City, Nevada. Patrol deputies responded to the location and apprehended the juvenile for “Terroristic Threats.” The juvenile was transported to the Carson City Juvenile Detention Center to face the felony charge.
CCSO would like to thank the members of the community for reporting the incident. The suspect has been taken into custody and there are no outstanding suspects or further threats to the Carson City School District.
