17-year-old arrested for threatening to kill Dallas Molina High students, blow up graduation

A 17-year-old student at Dallas ISD’s Moisés E. Molina High School was arrested Friday night and charged with making a terroristic threat.

School officials were notified Monday that 17-year-old Jose Gonzalez posted expletive-filled threats to Instagram in which he said he was going to kill gay students and blow up school graduation. Dallas County jail records show he was booked in Friday night and released around 3:30 Saturday morning after posting $2,500 bond.

According to the arrest warrant affidavit, Gonzalez posted two threats. In one he wrote, in part, that “I will kill every dyke after I’m done shooting up Moises Molina high school.” In another he referred to May 31 and wrote, “Get everything ready for the Big Bang.” The affidavit also notes that there was “an additional comment warning others not to go to the high school graduation ceremony.”

The warrant says a student at the school confronted Gonzalez about the statements “to verify that he was being sincere in his threats.” Says the affidavit, “The accused confirmed to the student that he was sincere and that he was intending to place IED’s around the site of the school’s graduation.”
