The case has been forwarded to the prosecutor for review.

Franklin Community Schools' superintendent, Dr. David Clendening, confirms that the suspect is a student at the high school:

Franklin Community High School will conduct its own investigation into the events leading up to, and including, the bomb threat. Any and all parties involved will be subject to disciplinary actions as guided by the FCHS policies.

The school district and police say they won't be releasing any further information about the suspect.
