The police department issued the following news announcement concerning the investigation:

On Saturday morning, April 7, the Ada Police Department began an investigation into threats towards the Ada Schools.

After working the case throughout the weekend in conjunction with the FBI, a search warrant was executed in Ada on Sunday afternoon where several items were confiscated related to the case.

Along with the search warrant, interviews were conducted throughout the weekend resulting in resolution to the case.  The Ada Police Department and the FBI identified the juvenile who was responsible for making the threat.
