SAN ANTONIO -- Two Alamo Heights teenagers have been arrested for allegedly making terroristic threats on Facebook.

Police say the 17-year-old and 18-year-old made Columbine-style threats against Alamo Heights High School for the first day of school.

According to the arrest warrants another teen saw what they were posting on Facebook, felt threatened, and told on them.

News 4 WOAI chose not to name the teenagers or show their arrest pictures since they are both students.

The initial Facebook post, which investigators was made by one of the teens was a graphic photo of the Columbine suspects lying in a pool of blood with the caption, "Best friends till the end!!" on Facebook.

Police went on to say the second teen replied back stating , "Totally wanna hang out on the first day of school XD."

They also discussed making different types of shotguns.

According to the arrest warrants both students talked openly about their similarities to the two men who committed suicide after they went on a shooting spree that killed a dozen students and a teacher at Columbine High School in Colorado, back in 1999.

Officials with Alamo Heights ISD did not want to speak on camera about the threats, but they did release a statement saying in part " The district takes all threats very seriously ... and at no time was there any imminent danger to either students or staff ".

Both students are facing felony charges. The district said if they are convicted they will be expelled.

I guess it will be alright to list the names and ages of there victims? Stop treating these people as if they were just little innocent children. They want to play adult games then they can suffer the adult consequences.

What does "Columbine-style threats" mean? A very ambiguous term. This case will be dropped like a hot potatoe if it goes to trial. If this news report is to be accurate, they made no direct threats. They talked about making shotguns and how the Columbine kids were cool is NOT illegal. I think that making shotguns is cool and I think those Columbine kids were cool, too. But idle talk like this is not illegal. It is protected speech. If they had said they were going to take shotguns and act like the Columbine kids at school, that is another thing. But unless the DA can force a plea out of these kids, there is no case here. I hope those kids stand firm and they make the DA and those stupid cops take it up the ass!

Ha! Ha! Ha! twister2, you really want so badly to be a comedian, don't you? Glad we made you feel better and gave you a laugh?!?!?!? Enjoy, because the only joke in this scenario is you. You brought up the subject of "making shotguns" so I added my "wish list" to that for fun. I will NOT politely accept being made fun of for being a true Patriot!! GFY, twit2.

ROFLMAO, 2 replies claiming to be TEA Party, exactly half of those replies wanting to discuss making shotguns. I couldn't have asked for a better response. Thanks Baven and Butterfly.

twister2, did you ever watch "Lost in Space"? Hope that you enjoyed it, because that's exactly where your brain is......LOST IN SPACE. While I don't "officially" belong to a TEA party group, I AM one of the TEA Party in hope, faith, & ideology....which is to return the United States of America to its former greatness, respect and adhere to the Constitution and Bill of Rights of the United States of America, proudly stand up and recite our Pledge of Allegiance, and hold my hand over my heart and shed tears for our National Anthem. Our current POTUS and FLOTUS both abhor all of those. Neither respect the flag of our country, as the FLOTUS was caught during the playing of the National Anthem and presentation of Old Glory saying to the POTUS, "All this for a flag". Bless you Baven!!! Your 4:08 comment was perfection!!!! And, twister2, where in the he!! do you come up with "openly discuss how to make shotguns"? Hey, let me know so that I can get in on that discussion!!! I need a good over/under 12 gauge. What hubby wants is a blunder bus.

Lol, I applaud catching these two punks (something we should all be happy about) and here comes liberal imbecile arguing about the Tea Party. I am the Tea Party as far as you're concerned, and I am more intelligent and common-sensed than every liberal whackjob on the face of this planet.

so what happened to the "students"? Did the good Judge call mommy and daddy to come take care of their love children? They may live next to me and probably making a bomb in the garage. Give it up elected officials, protect the public.

Be careful what you wish for Baven. Half the TEA party are obvious nutbags who openly discuss how to make shotguns.
