COAL TOWNSHIP - Charges of terroristic threats and disorderly conduct have been filed by Coal Township Patrolman David Sage against a 15-year-old male student at Our Lady of Lourdes Regional High School involving an alleged threatening statement posted on Twitter Tuesday.
Police said the teen's statement made mention that the juvenile wanted to create a similar situation at Our Lady of Lourdes Regional School that occurred Dec. 14 at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., where 20 elementary school students and six adults were shot and killed.
The charges were filed with Northumberland County Juvenile Court.
Efforts to reach Lourdes Principal Deacon Marty McCarthy for comment Sunday were unsuccessful. It was not known if the student has been suspended for his alleged actions.
