Teen accused of mass shooting threat against McAlester High School

A Pittsburgh County teen has been arrested, after her co-workers at the pizza restaurant where they work say she threatened to shoot 400 people at McAlester High School.

Pittsburgh County Sheriff Chris Morris says when they searched 18-year-old Alexis Wilson's house, they found she had recently bought an AK-47 and a large quantity of ammunition.

“The red flag to me, y'know not just purchasing the AK-47, everybody has the right to go purchase a weapon if you want to,” he said. “but then you purchase five additional high-capacity magazines and enough ammunition, I think there was 160 rounds or 180 rounds of ammunition.”

The Sheriff says Wilson had been kicked out of school.

She told police her comments to her co-workers were taken the wrong way, but she's now facing a charge of making a terroristic threat.

She's pleaded not guilty.
