Police say the unidentified student posted a picture of several rifles on Instagram, along with a caption that said, "Don't go to Millikan tomorrow." The post was deleted moments later.

Another post said it was a joke or the student's account was hacked, police said. The department said it was confident there was no threat to the high school.

Police did not give information about the student's age, gender or identity.
