An Urbandale High School student was arrested after school administrators say he made an online threat. The principal of the school sent a letter to parents saying police discovered a Snapchat photo of the student holding a gun and a second photo of ammunition with a caption that said he was “going to get those math teachers for giving me an F on that quiz.”

Urbandale police went to the student’s house and the student admitted it was and airsoft gun and the ammunition was a photo sent to him by a friend. Police say there wasn’t any real gun or ammo at his house and there was not threat to the school. The student, who is not being identified, was released back to his parents after being arrested. School officials are not saying what their punishment of the student will be.
