VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — St. John the Apostle Catholic School in Virginia Beach canceled classes for a second day in a row after receiving an email threat.
A spokesperson for the Catholic Diocese of Richmond says after making the decision to cancel for a second day, they learned law enforcement had taken a suspect into custody.
13News Now has reached out to the Virginia Beach Police Department for more information and is waiting to hear back.
In a notice sent to families earlier in the week, Interim Principal Jennifer Davey wrote, "Your children are at the forefront of our thinking, and we know that this threat only compounds a difficult few days for our students and families. When we return, we will work to discuss with your children in an age-appropriate way, the power of threatening language and behaviors, as well as the ways in which we work to keep them safe, both physically and emotionally."
St. John the Apostle made the news earlier this week when a Virginia Beach mom raised concerns after her son was suspended for waiting too long to report a classmate who brought a bullet to school.
