Two students in Nashville were arrested on Thursday due to threats made against their schools. In one case, 18-year-old Dorrian Harp from Hunters Lane High School was taken into custody after admitting to making a threatening statement to a classmate, indicating he would commit an act of violence at the school. Harp was found and arrested at the Madison Precinct after his initial address turned out to be vacant. He faces charges for making a threat of mass violence and is held on a $100,000 bond.
In a separate incident, a 12-year-old student from Intrepid College Prep was also arrested following allegations of threats against fellow students. After being suspended, the student sent a threatening text message and a video of a gun to another student. The juvenile is charged in Juvenile Court with making a threat of mass violence and filing a false report.
