Student at same school as teen gunman arrested in Australia

SYDNEY: A student who attended the same school as a teenager who shot dead a man outside an Australian police headquarters in a suspected terrorist incident was arrested Tuesday over alleged posts on social media.
The student was handcuffed and had his belongings emptied on the footpath while on his way to Arthur Phillip High School in western Sydney, Australian Broadcasting Corporation footage showed.
Police, who had a heavy presence at the school which was resuming classes for the first time since the shooting, confirmed the arrest.
”Shortly after 8:30 am, police spoke with a teenage boy in relation to alleged posts on social media,” New South Wales Police said in a statement.
”During the interaction, police allege the teenager threatened and intimidated police.”
The arrest comes after a boy widely named in the media as Farhad Jabar shot 58-year-old finance worker Curtis Cheng in the back of the head outside New South Wales state police headquarters in Parramatta in western Sydney on Friday.
