An Anchorage high school student has been arrested on accusations he threatened students and staff with a gun during multiple online classes, officials said.
The Dimond High School student attended several online learning sessions and disrupted them, police said. He made threatening gestures with a gun and used profane language before he was removed from the classrooms, said Anchorage School District spokesman Alan Brown.
The school district notified school-based police officers about the threats last Thursday, police said.
The suspect was then identified and arrested, the Anchorage Daily News reported. Charges were forwarded to the Department of Juvenile Justice, police said. The teen was not publicly identified because of his age.
“These types of online disruptions during any ASD online class setting are completely unacceptable and essentially cheat students out of learning,” Brown said.
Separately, two other teens were arrested after they used a gun to threaten an elementary school staff member, Brown said.
