SOMERVILLE, N.J. (Reuters) - A 12-year-old boy was charged Thursday with making terrorist threats after he allegedly drew a picture of a gun, showed it to a classmate, and then threatened to kill her, prosecutors said. Somerset County Prosecutor Wayne Forrest said the sixth- grader, a student at N.K. Brampton School in South Bound Brook, New Jersey, Monday allegedly drew a picture of a gun and showed it to an 11-year-old girl in class.

The next day the boy told the girl he was going to kill her using a gun, Forrest said.

The girl, upset by the threat, reported it to school authorities.

The charge against the boy, contained in a juvenile delinquency complaint, was filed with the Family Part of the Chancery Division of Somerset County Superior Court.
