A juvenile was detained Monday after police responded to a terroristic threat call at a middle school, according to the Weslaco Police Department.

At approximately 8:30 a.m., Weslaco police school resource officers were notified about a terroristic threat at Beatriz Garza Middle School.

Officers coordinated a "hold" at the school along with the Weslaco Independent School District administration.

Officers spoke to multiple students, and no weapons were located.

A juvenile was detained, and his information will not be released at this time, police said.
