A 17-year-old boy claiming to be the cousin of the Uvalde school shooter was arrested and charged with making terroristic threats against an Edgewood ISD school in San Antonio according to a report on Monday, August 7th by News4 San Antonio
A News 4 San Antonio Report stated, “According to court documents, the teen’s mother reported that the suspect was planning to ‘do the same thing’ as his cousin.” “The suspect had made these statements to his sister, who notified their mother, who called the police.”
The report also stated the suspect was on probation and was intoxicated when he was overheard making the threats.
Edgewood ISD is located on the west side of San Antonio.
Texas State Senator Roland Gutierrez issued the following statement:
“When this family saw something, they said something. And law enforcement listened and took this threat seriously. Thankfully, a few individuals prevented a disaster. I’m glad the Uvalde community didn’t see another horror play out in Texas. But it shouldn’t take an overheard conversation or luck. Our laws should protect us, not fortune. That is not safety we can count on. Had this young man been just one year older, he would have been able to purchase an AR-15 anywhere in Texas.”
