FORT SMITH -- Authorities in Fort Smith arrested a 13-year-old boy after an online gaming platform notified authorities of a threat made against a school.
Fort Smith police said the gaming platform, which was not identified, reported that a user in Fort Smith said he was going to "suicide bomb a school." Fort Smith police said officers were able to identify the user as a 13-year-old boy who had previously been suspended from school for making a similar threat.
Officers arrested the boy Monday on accusations of first-degree terroristic threatening, and he was booked in the county's juvenile-detention center, police said.
