Two California students who allegedly threatened to shoot up their schools were arrested a week after a suicidal 16-year-old gunman opened fire on his classmates—killing two of them and wounding three—at Saugus High School in Santa Clarita, Calif.

“We’ve received a series of threats from the Saugus shooting forward until today,” Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said at a Nov. 22 news conference. “We’ve acted on all of them and thoroughly assessed them.”
