“This was a case of a student making a reckless post on social media,” the district said.

According to an arrest affidavit, the threat caused a response from multiple law enforcement agencies and “created a panic throughout the school district.”

An arrest affidavit alleges that Camargo-Vega “implied bodily harm to multiple demographics of students within the Midway High School would take place, starting at 8 a.m. on 9/5/25.”

Authorities tracked Camargo-Vega to her home in Hewitt. The student asked if they were there because of a post she had made the night before on Instagram.

Authorities told her, yes, and she said, “I didn’t mean it, but yes I did it.”
