WATERTOWN, S.D.–Watertown school buildings were placed in lockdown this morning following an anonymous e-mail that threatened violence…
Superintendent Jeff Danielsen was asked what punishment the student will face from an academic perspective, and who makes that call…
Danielsen says these types of incidents have never been, nor will ever be, acceptable…
Watertown police say the e-mail was sent by a 14 year-old boy who’s a student at the high school. He’s being charged with Felony Terroristic Threats.
The e-mail was sent by the boy in an attempt to get out of school.
The lockdown lasted about 30 minutes.
