The Fresno Police Department said that officers responded to a social media threat of a shooting at Scandinavian Middle School made on Monday.

The department reported the incident Tuesday on an Instagram post.

Detectives identified and arrested a 13-year-old Scandinavian student on suspicion of making a felony criminal threat.
