There was no word on the motive.<\/p>\n<p>The sheriff&#8217;s office in Montgomery County, just north of Houston, said it was &#8220;actively investigating a criminal case involving online threats made by two students.&#8221; One of them, the office said, is a student at Willis High School in that county and is in custody on unrelated charges. The second, the office added, is a student in the Spring Branch ISD and is being held in Harris County, which includes Houston.<\/p>\n<p>Spring Branch ISD police told KHOU one of the teens is 16 years old and the other is 15. Their names weren&#8217;t released since both are juveniles.  <\/p>\n<p>The 16-year-old was charged with making a terroristic threat. The plan, shared through social media, was very detailed and that&#8217;s what led investigators to believe it was credible, police said.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t known what charges the Willis High School student was facing.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A letter KHOU reported was sent to Memorial High School students, families and staff said Spring Branch ISD police quickly arrested a student in the &#8220;potentially credible threat in the planning stages identified on social media.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The sheriff&#8217;s office said it is &#8220;treating this matter with the utmost urgency and commitment, as threats of violence in our schools will not be tolerated.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In response to the threats, officials have implemented additional security measures and are working closely with school administrators and law enforcement partners, the office added.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \"\/><!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/brian-dakss\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Brian Dakss<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Brian Dakss is a longtime New York-based editor and writer for CBS News, at the Radio network and with CBSNews.com.
