PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — A Maine man accused of using social media to threaten to commit a shooting at a New Hampshire high school has changed his plea to guilty, court records show.
Police charged Kyle Hendrickson in April with criminal threatening with a firearm. They said he posted a video with a gun outside Portsmouth High School in which he threatened to “shoot up the school.”
A federal grand jury then indicted Hendrickson in September on charges of threatening interstate communications and possession of a firearm in a school zone. Hendrickson now plans to plead guilty to those charges and is scheduled to appear in court on Dec. 11, court records state.
Portsmouth closed all schools for a day when the threat arose.
Hendrickson was represented by attorney Murdoch Walker II. Walker did not return a call seeking comment.
