Utah police investigate another school shooting Snapchat threat

Police have responded to another threat of violence posted on Snapchat, the latest coming Thursday night.

While the investigation deemed the post a joke and that the 17-year-old female student of Timpanogos High School had no access to a gun, it was at least the third such incident in the state in two days.

Also on Thursday, Springville police arrested a 17-year-old boy who made threats involving a gun on Snapchat. And the night before, Heber police arrested a 15-year-old boy who posted a video of himself holding an assault rifle and warning students not to go to school the next day.
