Evansville School Shooting Threat Leads to Arrest

EVASNVILLE, Ind. (AP) – An Evansville man has been arrested after threatening a shooting at a high school in the city.
 
Evansville Police say 19-year-old Anthony Wolfe Jr. was charged with intimidation Thursday after officers received a tip that Wolfe was threatening to “shoot up” Harrison High School. Wolfe is not a student there.
 
Officers say Wolfe made verbal threats that others discussed on Twitter, leading Wolfe to comment on the social media site that several followers of Harrison were also following him. He tweeted “I feel something bad about to happen” and “Said Harrison gone get shot up.”
 
Wolfe is being held in the Vanderburgh County Jail. It's not clear if he has an attorney.
