The latest incident took place in Riverhead at Riverhead Middle School at 600 Harrison Ave., on Monday, June 6.
Police responded to the school on Monday after being notified by district officials that a student had allegedly threatened to conduct an act of violence against faculty members and students, said the Riverhead Police.
The student was removed from class and his family is currently working with Riverhead Police during the investigation, police said.
The latest alleged threat comes after the arrests of two 15-year-old male students at Riverhead High School last week.
Riverhead police said a teen yelled during class that he was going to “shoot up the school" on Wednesday, June 1.
No weapons were found on the student or during a search of his residence, police said.
The next day, on Thursday, June 2, another 15-year-old male student was arrested for allegedly making threats on social media, Riverhead Police said.
Both students were charged with one count of making a terrorist threat.
Police across Long Island say they have responded to dozens of school threats since the mass shooting at a Uvalde, Texas elementary school.
Anyone with additional information is urged to call the Riverhead Police Department at 631-727-4500 x 312 or the Crime Hotline at 631-727-3333.
All calls will be kept confidential.
