Original Tuesday story:
Police have arrested a Bartlett High School student for threats written on a wall in a girl’s bathroom there, the latest arrest to come in a string of threats made against Anchorage-area schools.
The threat was discovered Friday morning. It alluded to a shooting directed at the school, its students and staff. Student resource officers reviewed surveillance video and interviewed several students, ultimately identifying a girl as the suspect.
