Student Arrested For Alleged Instagram Threat Against Millikan High School In Long Beach
LONG BEACH (CBSLA) — More police officers will be on hand at Millikan High School in Long Beach Tuesday after a student was arrested on suspicion of posting an online threat.
Police say the unidentified student posted a picture of several rifles on Instagram, along with a caption that said, "Don't go to Millikan tomorrow." The post was deleted moments later.
Another post said it was a joke or the student's account was hacked, police said. The department said it was confident there was no threat to the high school.
