A 17-year-old, Daniella Marino, is accused of making a terroristic threat toward a San Antonio charter school.
According to KSAT, Marino is accused of making a terroristic threat toward Compass Rose Public Schools.
A second video showed Marino dressed in black, again displaying what appeared to be a black semi-automatic handgun, the affidavit states. Text accompanying that clip allegedly said she would show up at the school to put bullets in two people, though the affidavit does not identify who those two people were.
A Timeline That Runs Right Up to Re-Enrollment Day
Marino previously attended Compass Rose Public School but moved away after the previous school year, the affidavit says. On October 2, she reached out to the school about re-enrolling on October 5 — the same window in which the threatening videos allegedly surfaced online.
A concerned parent of a current student spotted the videos and alerted school officials, who then recognized Marino as the person shown and contacted police, per the affidavit detailed by the same outlet. The rapid chain from a parent's tip to a staff identification to a police report illustrates how quickly the threat moved from social media to law enforcement.
School Locked Down Its Response Before the Re-Enrollment Date
Compass Rose Public Schools hired a security guard for October 5 and added extra faculty and staff to the campus that day, the report notes. School administrators also said they would not allow Marino to enter the building or re-enroll, cutting off the plan she had set in motion just days earlier.
Marino faces a terroristic-threat charge, along with a separate charge of illegal reentry from a foreign nation, according to the arrest affidavit.
Part of a Busy Stretch for Threats Against Bexar-Area Schools
The case lands amid a string of recent school-threat incidents around the San Antonio region. In Atascosa County, two juveniles were charged with making terroristic threats connected to a school shooting threat against Charlotte ISD, according to KSAT. Charlotte ISD still opened on time that day but shifted into secure status, with doors locked, no visitors allowed, and students searched as they entered.
Just a day earlier, Pieper High School in San Antonio went into an hourslong lockdown after a teen allegedly brandished what turned out to be an airsoft gun at another student in the parking lot, mySA reported. The Bexar County Sheriff's Office said a search of the student's vehicle turned up a knife, a realistic airsoft gun fitted with a laser, and alcohol, though Comal ISD said there was no credible threat to the school and no weapon was found inside the building. Only one of the two students initially detained was ultimately arrested.
Taken together, the cases show school staff and law enforcement across the San Antonio area responding to school threats this month, including an in-person incident.
