The Casa Grande Police Department on Wednesday responded to Cactus Middle School and McCartney Ranch Elementary School to investigate an online threat. Cactus Middle School staff reported a social media post being shared on campus of a rifle and handguns with a message threatening the students of both schools, according to police. Investigating officers discovered the post was created by a sixth-grade student, age 11, at Cactus Middle School. The student made the post to convince their friend's parents to let the friend skip school for the day.
