Four questioned as police probe Nations’ school threats

Dr. Brian O’Toole

Four persons have been questioned as the police continue to probe violent threats made on Facebook to the student body of the School of the Nations, and the subsequent shooting of its principal outside his home on Sunday.

The police’s Cybercrime unit is actively involved in the investigation, Commissioner of Police Leslie James told reporters yesterday. He said that apart from those who were questioned, several others are being pursued.

“Of course it’s a serious matter which, it started with the threat and it resulted with the shooting. I won’t say, well not necessarily result, but we have seen the shooting of the principal Mr O’Toole…what I can say is that we have taken some actions, we have contacted a few persons, there are some others that we are pursuing and it’s an ongoing investigation,” James said,
