Balch Springs Man Arrested For Making Threats On Facebook
story updated 10:29 p.m.
DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - A Balch Springs man was arrested Friday afternoon after posting threats on his Facebook page regarding a potential "mass murder" at Seagoville High School.
Jeffrey Holmes, 21, of Balch Springs was arrested by Seagoville police and officers with the Dallas Independent School District for a Facebook post that said he was "homicidal and suicidal" and there "might just be a mass murder going to take place" that will be "worse than Virginia Tech."
The post went on with a warning to put padlocks and chains and on all the exits of the high school.
The threat was posted Thursday morning. Despite his arrest there was reportedly a heavy police presence Friday at Seagoville High School.
The social media posts came on the same day as a school shooting in Colorado and one day before the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting anniversary, so authorities took the threat very seriously.
