Multiple U.S. School Threats Prompt Arrests

Recent incidents across North America have raised concerns about school safety, including a student arrested at Miramar High School in Florida for bringing an unloaded gun to campus with no ammunition or injuries reported. In Halifax, Canada, a 16-year-old was charged after allegedly threatening to open fire at Citadel High School during a call to a suicide hotline; police seized several legally stored firearms from his home and determined there was no ongoing threat, while providing support to the school community. In Kentwood, Michigan, a 14-year-old was arrested after posting a shooting threat against Pinewood Middle School on Snapchat, though no firearms were found at his home. Authorities in each case highlighted the importance of immediate reporting, comprehensive investigation, and support for students and staff. Officials also emphasized the need for mental health support and vigilance to prevent school violence. The Kentucky incident previously mentioned is no longer included in the current updates.
