On Sunday, March 18^th, at approximately 10:00 a.m., the Sacramento Police Department received information from administration at Kennedy High School regarding a report of a threat involving Kennedy High School. This was a separate and distinct threat from the one that occurred on Friday, March 16^th. The March 18^th incident involved a student displaying a rifle magazine via a social media post. This post was shared amongst Kennedy High School students. Kennedy High School administration immediately contacted SPD for further investigation.

The March 18^th incident was investigated by SPD patrol officers and detectives from the Criminal Intelligence Unit.

After a thorough investigation, SPD detectives determined that the threat to Kennedy High School was not credible. However, during the investigation, detectives determined that the subject who posted the March 18^th social media post and another individual were in violation of state gun laws. 47-year-old Brent Craig was arrested for being in possession of an illegal firearm and child endangerment. Additionally, a 17-year-old juvenile was arrested for being in possession of an illegal firearm.
