LAS VEGAS (KLAS) -- One of the teens accused of making racially motivated terroristic threats against a particular group of students at Arbor View High School admitted to making the threats in court Friday.

The two students, who are 15 and 16-year-old males, were arrested by Clark County School Police last month. They are facing charges of making terrorist threats, conspiracy to commit terrorist threats, hate crime, cyberbullying and breach of peace.

If you live in the Northwest Las Vegas valley, you probably know someone who has had a vehicle broken into.

Neighbors are saying they've had enough.

Animal advocates are working to rescue rabbits they say are in harm's way at Floyd Lamb Park located in the northwestern part of the valley.

The group "Bunnies Matter" says several rabbits are in danger due to the construction work happening in the area. They say rabbits are unable to get out after falling into a trench in the area.

So volunteers are laying traps near one of the historic buildings in an effort to get the rabbits to safety.

The group claims that the City of Las Vegas has not coordinated with them to resolve the issue, but the city says it has "tried doing so in the past."

Dave Schweiger helps plan rabbit rescues throughout the valley. Advocates say, when it rains, bunnies who have fallen into the trench could end up drowning... Read More
