Chittenango HS student arrested for alleged threat

CHITTENANGO, N.Y. -- We have new information about an incident at Chittenango High School that resulted in a teen being arrested.

The 16-year-old male has been accused of making statements at the school saying he thought it would be funny to bring a gun to school. Police say the teen also said he was bringing a gun to school to shoot people.

School officials say a student overheard the threat in the high school Tuesday. The boy was escorted out of the building without incident when it was reported.

The teen has been charged with falsely reporting an incident. He has been placed on supervised release and is ordered not to go on school district property or attend school events.
