La Porte police have made an initial determination that a student’s gun threat against La Porte High School was real, but that the student had no means to carry it out.

The threat, according to investigators, was made over social media this weekend and was reported immediately to the La Porte Police Department by another student. Though the Harris County District Attorney’s Office is refusing to press charges against the student, the school district has suspended the student per district policy.

La Porte ISD is grateful to the student who immediately reported the threat; this is a reminder that everyone plays an important role in our safety.
