Angry student threatened to bring a firearm to school, Nebraska police say

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — A student accused of making terroristic threats involving another student has been removed from school.

Officials first learned of the threats on Thursday, according to Grand Island Public Schools.

In addition to facing consequences, the student accused of making threats will be “receiving the support they need,” the district said.
