A 13-year-old girl was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly making a threat to carry out a shooting at the Bug-O-Nay-Ge-Shig School on the Leech Lake Reservation in Minnesota.
The girl, a student at the school, allegedly gave a teacher a note that described where and how the shooting would take place. The incident prompted an evacuation of the 300-plus students.
The girl could face charges for making the threat.
The Bug-O-Nay-Ge-Shig School is part of the Bureau of Indian Affairs system. The superintendent is Carol Aenne, who served as interim superintendent of the public schools on the Red Lake Reservation after a 16-year-old boy shot and killed nine people, including students and teachers, before turning the gun on himself.
