FBI Houston arrests four juveniles over school threats

The FBI Houston Field Office has reported multiple arrests following threats made against local schools at the start of the 2026-2027 academic year. Four juveniles have been arrested in connection with these incidents.

Three of the arrests involve teenagers charged with third-degree felony terroristic threats related to a planned mass shooting at Pasadena ISD schools, specifically Memorial High School and Sam Rayburn High School. A fourth arrest was made in connection to a threat made against Huntsville High School.

Special Agent in Charge Jason Hudson noted an uptick in mass violence threats at the beginning of the school year. The FBI is currently investigating a fourth credible threat for which no charges have yet been filed. Law enforcement officials emphasized that even threats made without malicious intent will result in criminal charges and the diversion of critical emergency resources.
