Two middle-school students in Juneau were arrested Thursday after they threatened to carry out a shooting at their school, police said.

Juneau police said the two 13-year-old boys verbally threatened to bring a gun to Floyd Dryden Middle School and shoot people.

The threat was reported to police Wednesday night, and the boys were questioned before school started Thursday, police Lt. Krag Campbell said in an online alert.

“Floyd Dryden is safe and operating normally," Campbell said.
