Hearing in threat case continues
POMONA - A Hacienda Heights teenager remains in custody after a court arraignment on felony charges of making criminal threats was continued until Thursday at the Pomona Juvenile Court.
The 15-year-old boy, who is not being named because of his age, is being charged with seven felony counts of making criminal threats against several students at Glen A. Wilson High School, according to the District Attorney's Office.
Prosecutors allege that on
April 16 the boy posted two messages on a Web site threatening to shoot six designated people and members of a school sports team.
The threats prompted officials to search all students before school Thursday and cancel all after-school activities. The school was closed on Friday and resumed regular schedule Monday.

He had no identification on him.
The male appears to be Latino and between the ages of 18 and 50, according to Salerno. His face had begun to decompose, making it difficult to estimate how old the man is, Salerno added.

A 15-year-old boy, arrested last Friday in conjunction with criminal threats made on Wikipedia, was charged Thursday with seven felonies in Pomona Juvenile Court in Pomona, California. Prosecutors stated that the teen posted two threats on Wikipedia, saying that six named students as well as members of his school's badminton team would be shot. The court arraignment had initially been set for Tuesday, but was continued until Thursday. ''Wikinews'' interviewed the Wikipedia administrator who contacted police after the threats had been made on the site.

Though officials had said the boy made a full confession that he had made threats to other students via the online encyclopedia Wikipedia, he denied the charges at the Thursday court petition. The court ordered that he remain detained pending a May 9 scheduled appearance before Pomona Juvenile Court. He has remained in custody since his arrest. 

The threats were made via two separate edits to the Wikipedia article about Glen A. Wilson High School in Hacienda Heights, California on April 16. Wikipedia administrators were made aware of the threats in a post to the "Administrators' noticeboard" on April 16 by Wikipedia admin Dreadstar. Another Wikipedia administrator, John Reaves, contacted the police in Los Angeles, California, and helped them work with the Internet service provider to find more information on the IP address that made the threat. A third Wikipedia administrator, Persian Poet Gal, removed the threats from the edit history of the article after finding out that the student had been arrested.

Students' backpacks were searched prior to entering Glen A. Wilson High School on April 17 and all after-school activities were canceled that day. All classes were canceled April 18, and classes resumed on Monday.
