Posting school threats online is not funny, & not a joke. Law enforcement can figure out who you are and will come visit you. #thinkbeforeyoupost #OPD @OmahaPubSchool @MillardPS @OmahaWestside @ElkhornPS @RalstonSchools via @OPDLtOtt pic.twitter.com/MEd8GQiRQD

The Omaha Police Department has arrested three juveniles for terroristic threats and disorderly conduct after a post regarding Omaha-area school threats circulated online.
On Wednesday, the police department said they were "aware of a circulating Omaha area school threat that appears to originally have been posted to Instagram referencing January 25."
Detectives worked with area law enforcement, school districts and community partners to investigate and found that the threat wasn't credible.
Detectives continue to follow up on all leads related to the investigation.
Omaha police ask the public to contact their Felony Assault Unit at 402-444-4600 immediately if there are any specific, first-hand witness accounts or if any new threatening social media posts are seen.
