Investigators said after talking to both teens and their parents, it was determined that the post was not credible and was related to an online gaming platform that the teens were engaged with. It was reportedly meant as a hoax.
Both teens were charged with breach of peace and were summoned to juvenile court.
Authorities emphasize that the post was a hoax and no Norwalk Public School was ever targeted. Officers said they are working with the school system to ensure the safety and security of all students and staff in schools.
The community is encouraged to stay vigilant and should report any suspicious activity to police.
