Middleport, NY (WBEN) - Niagara County Sheriff's Deputies arrested three Royalton Hartland High School students, charging two of them, after another student overheard a discussion of possible shootings.
Sheriff Tom Beilein tells NewsRadio 930 WBEN the student's parents told them what the student heard. The parents then contacted police. Two of the three students who allegedly talked of shooting people at the school were arrested before reaching school grounds. Beilein says the third was apprehended at the school.
Beilein says a search conducted at the school found no firearms. The school was in lockdown during the search.
He says one of the teens was described as an "angry young man." Two of the teens have been charged with falsely reporting an incident for discussing the matter in public causing alarm. The investigation continues, but Beilein says the third teen involved will likely not face charges.
