A sixth-grade student has been charged in relation to an alleged second shooting threat in the Bristol Borough School District.
Borough police were called to Snyder-Girotti Elementary School Monday for a report the sixth grader was threatening to shoot up the school. The incident came on the same day the high school was closed due to a shooting threat that led to the arrest of a teen student.

Police, the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office, and Bucks County Juvenile Probation Department investigated the sixth grader’s alleged threats.
The student was charged with two counts of terroristic threats, police said.
Sgt. Joe Moors, the officer in charge of the department while the chief’s job is vacant, said Monday’s threat was unrelated to Sunday’s at the high school.
