A group of students from Garland's Naaman Forest High School is suspended indefinitely after police say they made threats online targeting other students.
Garland Police released a statement Friday afternoon saying officers from their department joined officers from the North Texas Joint Terrorism Task Force and agents from the FBI to investigate the posts and respond to the threat.
Police said on Friday morning the FBI executed search warrants and interviewed the Naaman Forest students involved in the posts. Following the interviews, officials determined there was no immediate danger to the students or the school.
Officials did not share any further information about the posts other than they were made online and that they were in a "reference to harming and killing students at the school."
