OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - An Omaha school district has disciplined three eighth-graders who made a threatening video and showed it on a school-issued laptop computer.

A Westside Community Schools official says the boys made no specific threats against anyone but rather made threatening remarks against certain ethnic groups. 1 of the boys was holding what appeared to be a firearm.

A teacher saw the video and reported it to administrators, who then contacted the boys' parents.

The boys were disciplined for improperly using school equipment.

Police are also investigating.
