SAN ANSELMO, Calif. ( KRON ) — A 15-year-old girl was arrested in connection to a school shooting threat made at schools within the Tamalpais Union High School District on Friday afternoon, Central Marin Police officers said.

While investigating what they believed was a bomb threat at a TUHSD school , officers from CMP received a report from the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) claiming a girl had made separate threats of a shooting.

Police clarified that the bomb threats made were not connected to the shooting threat.

Police said the girl, later identified as a 15-year-old San Anselmo resident who attends a school at TUHSD, was located and arrested in the nearby area for making criminal threats.
