CONCORD, Mass. — A Concord-Carlisle High School student was arrested after allegedly writing serious threats against the school community.

After an outburst in the classroom, it was discovered the 17-year-old student had written serious and specific threats against members of the school community in a notebook, said police.

Staff notified the Concord-Carlisle principal Principal Mike Mastrullo, and administrators removed the student for hospitalization and called police, said Superintendent Diana Rigby.

The student, who is not being identified, was arrested and will not be returning the Concord-Carlisle, said Rigby.

The student threatened others with a gun and an edged object, said police, but no weapons were found. Police would not say if there was a hit list, but said there were specific threats against certain people.

The 17-year-old male is charged with crimes against the public peace by threatening to use deadly weapons in a school building and threatening to commit a crime.
