Police: Orchard Gun Threat Not Credible

A police report filed by a parent claimed that a 10-year-old boy threatened a 10-year-old girl with a gun, but police do not believe the threat was credible.

A 10-year-old male student at Orchard Middle School reportedly threatened a 10-year-old girl with a gun, according to a police report filed by a parent of the girl.

But after a quick follow-up investigation, Solon Police do not believe the threat was credible and no charges or further action will be taken by the department, according to Lt. Bruce Felton with the Solon Police.

Witnesses to the Nov. 7 incident, including some who were friends with the victim, told a detective they did not hear the boy mention a gun.
