Brookfield Police: 16-Year-Old Arrested for Making Social Media Threat
Brookfield Police got the call from the high school Wednesday (March 28) around mid-morning.
Three students gave Brookfield High administrators the heads-up about a provocative Social Media post from the night before by a 16-year-old classmate. The student was immediately brought down to the high school office, and that's when the police were called.
According to a Brookfield Police Dept. press release, the Social Media post was disturbing. Police investigators determined the post depicted an airsoft facsimile rifle that looked like the AR-15 with two airsoft magazines and four different sized magazines.
