A 15-year-old Maize student is in trouble with thelaw after posting a threat through Twitter Monday afternoon.

Police say the boy threatened to carry out an attack similar to the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut last week.

The boy said it wasn't an actual threat and police say the boy didn't have the means to carry out such an attack, but they take all threats seriously.

The boy was arrested for disorderly conduct and terroristic threats.

Police say the case is in the hands of Juvenile Court.
