Police: Knife found

AUSTINTOWN

Police reported finding a pocket knife in the backpack of an Austintown Fitch High School 16-year-old who joked Wednesday about shooting up the school.

The student told police he recited out loud the joke from a meme he found online. Police noted he “seemed to understand” why the matter required discipline and a police report. The student’s guardians told police they do not possess any firearms at their home.

The case was referred to Mahoning County Juvenile Court for a felony count of illegal conveyance of a deadly weapon into the school and a misdemeanor count of inducing panic.

Juvenile court officials said the charges were not processed as of Thursday and were unable to confirm the juvenile’s identity.
