Two teenage girls, aged 15 and 16, were arrested in the Houston area for allegedly planning a “mass casualty attack” at Memorial High School in Hedwig Village. The FBI received information about the threat and quickly worked with local law enforcement to identify and arrest the girls, who were in the early stages of planning the attack. The 16-year-old was a former student at the high school, while the 15-year-old attended a different school in the area. The girls were arrested within 30 minutes of the threat being reported.
The FBI Houston office praised the swift response and collaboration between agencies, emphasizing the importance of protecting the community from potential threats. The Willis Independent School District, where the 15-year-old attended school, expressed gratitude for the actions taken to ensure student safety.
