Police arrest an Arthur Phillip High School student as classes resume for the first time since Friday’s deadly shooting just metres away
A Sydney teenager from the same school as the 15-year-old who shot dead a police worker on Friday has been arrested on his way to class.
Police said the boy was asked about alleged social media posts, but became threatening and intimidated officers.
Facebook posts local media say were written by the boy defend and praise teen gunman Farhad Jabar’s actions.
“Yallah merryland police station is next hope they all burn in hell,” the boy allegedly wrote.
“Serves you right I hope them lil piggies get shot,” another alleged post said after Friday’s deadly shooting.

According to some reports, the gunman Farhad Jabar shouted religious slogans before carrying out the attack in Parramatta on Friday
New South Wales Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione on Saturday said Jabar’s actions were politically motivated and therefore linked to terrorism.
The NSW Department of Education is offering counselling to Arthur Phillip High School students and staff.
