Three male students, including two 12-year-olds, were arrested today in Nashville for making threats in unrelated incidents at local schools.
The first incident involved an 11th-grade student at Knowledge Academy who became upset when his backpack was confiscated for not being clear, as per school policy. The student threatened “Antioch part two” if his headphones were missing, leading to his immediate removal from class. A search of his person and backpack revealed nothing concerning.
