Teens accused of threatening Pioneer School District

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — Two teenagers in Cattaraugus County are accused of threatening the Pioneer School District earlier this week.

The Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s Office said both defendants are 16-year-old students. Officials said an investigation found the threat to be “not credible,” but announced each defendant is charged with one count of making a terroristic threat.

Both defendants will be brought into youth court to face a judge.
