Crivitz HS Still Shocked Over Threat, Suspect Says "Response To Bullies"

CRIVITZ, Wis. (WTAQ) - Students and staff continue to be stunned after Wednesday's arrest of a Crivitz High School student because of alleged threats. Principal Jeff Baumann says the school is in testing the rest of the week, so the full student body isn't there at one time. As for parents, he's assured both who've talked to him directly the school is safe.

Meantime the 17-year-old suspect has been released on bond. He claims the text message threat was sent in response to repeated bullying and thinks the situation is being blown out of proportion.
