At 8:15 a.m. today the Pleasant Prairie School Resource officer at LakeView Technology Academy was advised of an incident which occurred earlier in the day involving a photo of a male-party holding a firearm. The photos were then apparently forwarded via Instagram by an 18-year-old female student of the school with a comment that was of a threating nature alluding to a possible act of violence that would take place at the school today. Additional Pleasant Prairie Police personnel and Detectives responded to the school and assisted in the investigation. The 18-year-old female student has been taken into custody and the investigation is continuing. At this point, there is not an active threat at LakeView Technology Academy.
The Pleasant Prairie Police Department takes all threats of violence such as this seriously and will commit all available resources in the investigation of such crimes. Individuals involved in this type of behavior will be held accountable for their actions.
Anyone with further information on this investigation are encouraged to contact the Pleasant Prairie Police Department at 262.694.7353.
