Police have arrested a 14-year-old boy who threatened to kill classmates at Seton Catholic High School in Chandler, police said Thursday.

On Wednesday students in a class at Seton witnessed the boy writing comments in his journal about his desire to kill several students at the school and making a hand gesture simulating a gun pointed to his head, police said.

The boy's name was not released and the Arizona Republic does not typically identify juveniles arrested in crimes.

Students reported him to a teacher, who notified staff, said Det. Frank Mendoza, a Chandler police spokesman. The staff then called police to the school at 11:42 a.m.

Police interviewed the boy, who admitted to writing the entries in the journal, Mendoza said.

The boy was booked into the Maricopa County Juvenile Detention Center on suspicion of interference with an educational institution, police said.
