(16 year old arrested in Calexico)…The teen was taken into custody Sunday.

Calexico police say the teen is accused of making threats against Calexico High School on Social Media Saturday. He was apparently upset with the school’s new closed campus rule. Police say the 16 year old said there should be a shooting at the school, and later said he was going to buy a gun. Police officials say they are not taking the threats lightly. The teen was booked into County Juvenile Hall on Sunday. The first day of school was Monday, and classes began with a heavy police presence. They said they wanted the students and their parents to feel safe. The School District has said they would increase the budget for school security at the High School.
