Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Investigating Online Threats Involving Students

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, TX -- The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office is actively investigating a criminal case involving online threats made by two students. We are treating this matter with the utmost urgency and commitment, as threats of violence in our schools will not be tolerated.

While this remains an active investigation, we can confirm that one of the individuals involved is a student at Willis High School and is currently in custody on unrelated charges. The second individual, a juvenile student from Spring Branch ISD, is currently in custody in Harris County. Evidence suggests their intent was to carry out acts of violence at a school in Spring Branch ISD.

The safety and security of our schools and community remain our highest priority. We understand the concerns this situation may cause for students, parents, and faculty, and we are taking every necessary precaution. Additional security measures have been implemented, and we continue to work closely with school officials and our law enforcement partners to ensure a safe environment.

We encourage the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to law enforcement. If you see something, say something. This investigation is in the early stages, and we are reviewing all available evidence. We will provide updates as more information becomes available.
