Introduction
Two Seguin teenagers have been arrested by the Seguin police following the circulation of a threatening video targeting Seguin High School on social media. The arrests were made in connection with incidents that occurred on the school campus on Thursday.
Police Investigation and Arrest
After being alerted to the video, the Seguin Police Department initiated an investigation, working closely with Seguin ISD administrators to determine the origin and credibility of the threats. The individuals identified in the video were identified as Isiah Heider, 18, and Franklin Naiper, 19, both residents of Seguin. A warrant for their arrest was issued by Judge William Old III, with a bond set at $100,000. The police apprehended both individuals overnight and subsequently booked them into the Guadalupe County Jail on charges of making terroristic threats.
Incidents at Seguin High School
The video emerged following a day of disturbances at Seguin High School. The first incident occurred between 10:25 and 11:10 am when a fight broke out on the campus. Sean Hoffmann, the Communications Director for Seguin ISD, confirmed that additional officers were called in to assist school administrators in resolving the altercation, and the situation was eventually resolved.
Later in the day, school officials received information about a potential shooting rumor. As a precautionary measure, the campus was put on hold for a second time. The Seguin Police Department and the Guadalupe County Sheriff’s Office increased their presence on campus for the remainder of the day, and this heightened security will continue on Friday.
