Corona High School shooting threat leads to arrest of 2 Riverside County teen girls: All on charges filed against them
Corona police say two teenage students from Riverside County spent months researching school shootings and discussed ways to attack Corona High School.
Two 15-year-old female students from Riverside County have been arrested in connection with a potential school shooting threat at Corona High School, according to officials from the Corona Police Department. The investigation began when the FBI alerted the Corona Police Department and the Riverside County Sheriff's Office to threatening messages posted on social media platforms.
Both girls were apprehended in separate high schools - one at Corona High School and the other at Norco High School. According to the police, an extensive search of the teens' residences revealed evidence of their months of research into school shootings and discussions about carrying out an attack at Corona High School. They explored methods of obtaining firearms, but ultimately were unable to acquire any.
No weapons were found during the searches. The two students are currently facing charges of conspiracy to commit murder. The Riverside County District Attorney's Office is handling the case. No specific motive has been identified yet. Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact Detective Edwards at the Corona Police Department.
