A Hoover High School student has been charged following an incident on campus Thursday that led to a lockdown and large police response.

Just before 2 p.m., Hoover High School officials and Hoover Police Department school resource officers at the school were notified by students of a suspicious person on campus who was making threats of violence.

A lockdown of the school was initiated while police investigated the complaint.

Officers located the person, who was identified as a juvenile student and quickly detained him, said Lt. Daniel Lowe.

A search of the campus was conducted, and no weapons were found.

Once the campus was determined to be safe, the lockdown was lifted, and students were dismissed.

The investigation showed that a 17-year-old boy was wearing a mask and got into a verbal altercation with a group of students in the courtyard.

During the altercation, the teen made gestures to make the other students believe he was armed with a weapon, and he made verbal statements making the students believe he intended to harm them, Lowe said.

The threats were subsequently reported to faculty and a lockdown was initiated.

School resource officers worked to identify the student and took him into custody within minutes and without incident.

The student was not armed when he was taken into custody, and there has been no evidence discovered indicating he was ever armed with a weapon at any point, Lowe said.

Lowe said the incident was isolated, and there is no ongoing threat at Hoover High School.

The 17-year-old is charged with first-degree making a terrorist threat.

Because of his age, no additional information is being released.
