A 13-year old boy has been lodged in the Douglas County Juvenile Detention Center, accused of falsely reporting a school shooting threat.
Sergeant Jeff Eichenbusch of the Roseburg Police said on Tuesday afternoon, RPD School Resource Officers learned of a potential threat of violence that was targeted at Joseph Lane Middle School. Eichenbusch said the threat was made over the social media platform Snapchat.
Eichenbusch said RPD immediately started investigating the incident and worked in cooperation with the Roseburg School District. During the early stages of the investigation, it appeared the threat was not credible, but police continued to look into the situation.
On Wednesday, officers learned that the original threat was made a 13-year old student at Joseph Lane over his Snapchat account. Eichenbusch said the post indicated that a “new student” at the school was going to “shoot up” the school on Wednesday. The 13-year old suspect admitted the report was false, and said that after posting it they tried to delete it, but by then it had already been sent and copied by others.
Eichenbusch said the student has been charged with first degree disorderly conduct.
