A 16-year-old boy from Southeast has been arrested and charged with terroristic threats for multiple bomb threats made against D.C. schools Wednesday.

D.C. police said Thursday they’re still working with federal partners to investigate the incidents.

Authorities investigated threats at eight District schools Wednesday, which came a day after Dunbar High School was evacuated due to a bomb threat Tuesday.

D.C. police said they investigated threats at Dunbar, Theodore Roosevelt and Ron Brown high schools, as well as KIPP DC College Preparatory, IDEA Public Charter School, Seed Public Charter School, McKinley Tech High School and Friendship Public Charter School.
