    KANSAS CITY (KSHB) — A Leavenworth County jury found a Fort Leavenworth teen guilty this week of using the social media platform Snapchat to make a school threat last September.

The jury found Kaden Ray Bently guilty of one count of aggravated criminal threat.

According to court documents, Bently used social media to threaten to commit a school shooting at Leavenworth High School on Sept. 18, 2024.

Bently was taken into custody shortly after making the threat as police and Fort Leavenworth Military Police worked together to learn his identity.

Sentencing is set for Feb. 26.
