Teen Faces Terrorism Charge for Simulated School Shooting

GRAY, La. — A 15-year-old student at H.L. Bourgeois High School has been arrested after he posted a YouTube video of him appearing to gun down his classmates in a first-person shooter game.

The teen has been charged with terrorizing and interference with the operation of a school, reports WVUE. Authorites have not named him because he’s not an adult.

He used a mobile app called “The Real Strike, First Person Shooter” to take video of his classmates and superimpose their images to make it look like he was shooting them.
