Devant Y'Shaun Davis-Brooks, 17, was also accused five months ago of planning a shooting at the same school.
Police in Taylor, about 25 miles northeast of Austin, received a tip about the threat early Wednesday. The Fort Worth officer, who was playing a video game online after a night shift, reportedly heard Davis-Brooks say that he planned "to shoot up Taylor High School tomorrow," KVUE-TV reported.
