SLINGER, Wis. - Slinger police arrested a 14-year-old boy who admitted to making a bomb threat against Slinger High School on Monday.
The police department said the 14-year-old is from Milwaukee County and said he posted the threat on Snapchat. The investigation determined it was a "totally random act" – and the suspect has no ties to Slinger, its schools or its students.

Jim Curler, the school district's superintendent, said the suspect made the threat because he was "bored."
The threat prompted evacuations at both Slinger High School and Slinger Elementary School. The all-clear was given Monday after the buildings were evacuated and police swept both facilities out of an abundance of caution.
The Slinger Police Department said it will refer charges of disorderly conduct and terrorist threats to the Washington County Juvenile Intake Office.
