Two students at Grace King High School in Metairie were arrested Thursday (Feb. 22) and booked with terrorizing after their whiteboard portrait captioned "future school shooter" was shared on social media, according to authorities.
The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office is not identifying the students, saying only that they are male and juveniles.
The pair was in a classroom Wednesday in which students were discussing the Feb. 14 school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., that left 17 people dead, according to Lt. Jason Rivarde, spokesman for the Sheriff's Office.
One of the boys noted the other "looked like someone who would conduct a school shooting," Rivarde said.
The first student drew a portrait of the second on the classroom white board and added the "future school shooter" caption, according to Rivarde. The second student posed next to the drawing while other students took cell phone photos.
The students shared the photos on social media. School administrators and authorities eventually became aware of the posts on Thursday morning, according to Rivarde.
Deputies questioned the students who denied they had any intention of committing violent acts, Rivarde said. Investigators searched the homes of both students and found no evidence that either was planning a school shooting.
In addition to their arrests, the students will be disciplined in accordance with Jefferson Parish Public School System policy, spokeswoman Beth Branley said.
"It is out commitment to notify parents of any type of incident once we have obtained the most accurate information. The safety of all students and staff is our utmost concern, and we want them to feel safe and secure every day in every school," Branley said.
The Sheriff's Office reiterated that they would take seriously any threat of violence made toward any Jefferson Parish school.
"We will investigate every instance to the fullest," Rivarde said.
