PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — The South Dakota Supreme Court says a student who uttered the word “bomb” and said he wanted to kill someone while holding a pair of scissors wasn’t making terrorist threats and shouldn’t have been found delinquent. KELO-TV reports that court issued an unanimous opinion Wednesday reversing Circuit Judge Kent Shelton’s ruling that the student made a terrorist threat. Justice Scott Myren wrote that police didn’t find any explosive devices, not enough context exists around the student saying “bomb” to determine he was threatening violence and only a single person heard him make the remarks while holding the scissors.
