1. A threatening message posted online worried police enough for them to track down and arrest a Cape Elizabeth High School student yesterday morning. Principal Jeffrey Shedd said, “Although there was no direct threat to the school community or any individuals or groups within the school in the social media postings, there were images of firearms and generalized expressions of anger.” A SWAT team was standing by to offer their help to local officers. But police said they took the 17-year-old male into custody without resistance. He faces a charge of terrorizing. Classes will resume on Tuesday. Shedd said support services would be available for any students who need help. (NCM)
