A teenager is in custody after police say he confessed to threatening a school in Nevis, Minnesota, on Thursday.

According to the Hubbard County Sheriff's Office, a report came in around 3:15 p.m. of a student who had threatened to bring a gun to school and start shooting. In addition, administrators told police the student directly threatened to shoot a particular student before turning the gun on himself. 

School leaders and deputies interviewed students who witnessed the threats being made.  After, deputies met with the accused student, as well as one of his parents, at their home. That's where authorities say the student confessed to making the threats. 

The teenager, identified as a 14-year-old boy by the sheriff's office, was arrested and then brought to Northwestern Minnesota Juvenile Center in Bemidji.
