Last week, Vandegrift students and administrators acted swiftly to alert the school and community about a terroristic threat from Viet Quoc Duong, a 2017 VHS graduate.
Duong, 18, was released from the Travis County Jail on Friday night after being arrested on Wednesday for making threatening posts on social media the night before toward the VHS choir — a group he was removed from last year.
“We are proud of our students for quickly and appropriately reporting messaging they saw on social media that involved the safety of our school,” said Charlie Little, principal at Vandegrift.
