RCMP say they’ve arrested two young people involved in separate cases of school threats in Eskasoni.

They say on Wednesday morning officers responded to a report of threats circulating online and they learned a young person posted threats of a school shooting on social media.

They say the person was quickly identified and officers found there was no risk to the public.

Police say on Friday morning officers responded to a second report of a school shooting also circulating on social media in relation to a school in Eskasoni.
