at a Union Township elementary school, was arrested Tuesday after she
threatened to "shoot the whole place up" while speaking to the
principal of Jefferson Elementary, according to police.
Police received a call from the Jefferson Elementary
School principal around 1:30 p.m. and she told them about the threat.
The school was put on lockdown and officers were
dispatched. Students stayed in their classrooms while police looked for the
parent.
School dismissal was delayed until the woman was
located.
She was arrested and sent to the county jail --
charged with making terroristic threats.
The parent has not been identified by the
department. The school returned to normal and children were dismissed following
her arrest.
