WEST ALLEGHENY (KDKA) -- A local student is charged with one count of making terroristic threats after saying he was going to attack Bedford Elementary School.

The tip, from a parent of a fifth-grader, showed a Snapchat message between Bedford Elementary students and another individual.

The West Allegheny SD student said he was going to attack the elementary school on Wednesday.
The student later admitted to the threats and is now charged with a felony 3 terroristic threat charge, the Bedford SD said.
The student has not been identified yet.
