The start to the school year is nothing like I've seen in the past when it comes to the number of threats made against schools, and now the number of arrests we are seeing across Texas. Many of the arrests have some similarities while others stand apart.

If you remember much about the last 3 weeks in the news, you'll probably remember that many schools have received bomb threats or threats about a possible shooting. Schools across Texas evacuated and some even cancelled classes.

Now, police are making arrests and the number of students being arrested is shocking.
