The suspect was later taken into custody at his city residence. He is described as a 16-year-old boy who attends Life Skills High School, also in Elyria. Authorities say he admitted to posting the message, and he has since been charged with making terrorist threats and inducing panic. He is being held in the Lorain County Detention Home.
