A high schooler glorified school shootings on social media. He's now under arrest
A Dinuba High School student who glorified school shootings in a social media post has been arrested.
The 16-year-old student was taken into custody by the Dinuba Police Department on Thursday and placed in the Tulare County Juvenile Detention Facility, where he remains.
Police Chief Devon Popovich said one of the department’s school resource officers got a tip from a parent about the social media post. Officers questioned the 16-year-old and another student, but only the 16-year-old was arrested.
