Sulphur, Louisiana – The Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office reported on August 29, 2022, that on Sunday, August 28, CPSO deputies responded to a call about a student at Sulphur High School making alleged threats on social media to shoot other students at the school.
During the initial investigation, officers discovered that the 17-year-old had threatened to carry out the shooting on a specific day of the week, but had not specified whether it would take place on school grounds. Following additional investigation, police interviewed the 17-year-old, who was arrested and booked into the Juvenile Detention Center on terrorizing charges.
