Investigators say teens made bomb and shooting threats, which resulted in a school lockdown.

Two teens pleaded guilty to felony charges in connection with bomb and shooting threats that caused a scare at a Tri-Counties high school.

The incident happened on May 2 at Ventura High School. The threats were false, but led to a lockdown and search involving law enforcement officers.

Ventura Police detectives identified and arrested two teens for the incident. Both pleaded guilty to felony charges of making a bomb threat, as well as conspiracy. One of the teens also pleaded guilty to a charge of making criminal threats.

One of the teens has already been sentenced to 90 days in a juvenile justice facility, plus probation, and the second is still awaiting sentencing.
