NEVIS — A 14-year-old Nevis student is in custody after allegedly threatening to bring a gun to school.
Hubbard County dispatch received a report from Nevis Public School the afternoon of Thursday, Sept. 11, about a student who threatened to bring a gun.
School administrators advised deputies they learned the student was telling others about plans to "shoot up the school, shoot a particular student and then shoot himself."
Deputies contacted the student and his father at their rural Nevis residence, where he confessed to making the threats, according to authorities.
The boy is in custody at the Northwest Minnesota Juvenile Detention Center in Bemidji, a news release stated.
Nevis Superintendent Ranae Seykora stated in a social media announcement that the student would not be returning to the school building, and thanked law enforcement and school staff for their swift action.
