Multiple local law enforcement agencies responded to several online threats being made against Colorado Springs-area schools Wednesday, and two local students face charges over false threats, officials said.
The two students are from two separate local schools and are facing charges for their “participation in spreading false information regarding threats to schools locally and nationwide,” according to an El Paso County Sheriff’s Office news release.
One student faces charges involving alleged interference of an educational institution, and the other faces charges for alleged false reporting and the interference of an educational institution. Their names were not released Wednesday because they are minors.
