BALTIMORE (WJZ) The Anne Arundel County Police Department has charged a 14-year-old girl with a juvenile citation for sending a threatening tweet related to Arundel High School.
Police began their investigation after Arundel High School officials told them about a suspicious Twitter account.
The account, named @KoolkidsKlanKkk, reportedly sent out a tweet that read, Were planning to attack tomorrow.
This account used similar language to a racial petition that had been passed around Anne Arundel High School by the Kool Kids Klan.
Police worked with Twitter, and were able to identify the person who created the account and sent out the threatening tweet.
That person has been identified as a 14-year-old African American female who attends Arundel High School.
Authorities interviewed the girl while she was with her parents, and police say she admitted to creating the Twitter account and sending the threatening tweet.
She was charged with a juvenile citation for disruption of school activities and released to her parents.
It makes me really upset. I cant believe that students would write something like that, said parent Michelle Fitzurka.
I kind of felt unsafe at the school and a little hurt, said Taylor Nash, a freshman at Arundel High.
The school district said all the students involved in that incident were disciplined, but the students were not identified, and to complicate an already tense situation, Wednesday night hundreds showed up for a meeting at the school, but some parents still had questions.
That is not good enough. Whats going to happen with the students that are still here?said parent Tamara Hannah.
The federal law prohibits me from telling you exactly what the consequences were. But I will say to you that the school acted swiftly, they acted aggressively and they administered appropriated disciplinary action, said Bob Mosier, chief communications officer of Anne Arundel Public Schools.
As parents left the school, theres hope the community will begin to heal.
I am very confident that Ms. Davenport and the staff at the school is going to do everything they can to keep all of our children safe, said parent Sheri Paris.
I just hope that we can all come together, not just here at the school, but as a society, said parent Lisa Smith.
Anne Arundel County Public Schools Superintendent George Arlotto released the following statement:
I want to thank Police Chief Tim Altomare, States Attorney Wes Adams, County Executive Steve Schuh, and their staffs for their thorough and expeditious work to identify a suspect in the online post that threatened violence at Arundel High School this week. The anonymity of the internet provides a murky and complex disguise for many who want to threaten the safety and security of our communities. Our partners in the Police Department and county government peeled back that disguise quickly in this case, in the process reassuring parents, students, and staff that our schools are safe places in which to educate our children.
Writer needs a course in English composition. This is so disjointed. We learn of a single girl sending a tweet, and then we read:
The school district said all the students involved in that incident were disciplined....

I am assuming that the incident involving multiple students is a separate event, as there is a passing reference to some sort of petition. But the reader should not be in the position of attempting to piece together the parts of the narrative. So annoying.
‘As parents left the school, theres hope the community will begin to heal.
‘I am very confident that Ms. Davenport and the staff at the school is going to do everything they can to keep all of our children safe, said parent Sheri Paris.’
WHY DO WE KEEP PRETENDING SOMETHING SERIOUS ACTUALLY HAPPENED? (Besides the lying and consequent concerns.)
I know - we will continue to act like whites threatened everyone, rather than be angry at the (black) kids who LIED and incited fear and possible violence by PRETENDING to be white racists.
You’re not the only one who wants to barf.
But as I tried to indicate in my other reply, I am 80% sure their “healing” refers to the “scare” they had at the hands of “white racists”, NOT lying blacks looking to cause trouble.

Baltimore? This is Anne Arundel County.
And it’s fraud, but a threat nonetheless.
And along with this thug culture (this is sort of on a tangent), blacks are rioting and “protesting” for thugs and naming community centers for them. Yup, St. Freddie Gray has some center named for him because he was “martyred”.
Why can’t they at least act up for INNOCENT victims?
Meanwhile, actual heroes such as this - remember?

Won’t have any centers named for them, or even be remembered past that little event.
It is nice to see exceptions to the trend.
