SEARCHAt around 2:45 p.m. (CST) the FBI called local law enforcement partners in Montgomery County, Harris County and Spring Branch Independent School District, who simultaneously worked to locate the girls.
Two teen girls were taken into custody by local officials in Texas Tuesday after the FBI became aware of a plot to use pipe bombs and guns in a “mass casualty” attack on Memorial High School in Harris County.
The threats were specific and deemed concerning enough that the FBI threat mitigation team moved quickly, ABC reports.
At around 2:45 p.m. (CST) the FBI called local law enforcement partners in Montgomery County, Harris County and Spring Branch Independent School District, who simultaneously worked to locate the girls.
By 3:15 p.m., just 30 minutes after the FBI call, both girls—one 16, the other 15—were located and in custody, law enforcement sources said.
The 16-year-old girl who is a student at Memorial High School is being held on a charge of making a terroristic threat, Baimbridge said.
The other student, a 15-year-old, is in custody in Montgomery County on an unrelated charge, according to a Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office statement.
No firearms, bombs or bomb making materials were immediately recovered in Harris County, though the investigation is ongoing in both Harris and Montgomery Counties.
