Florida police informed it has arrested on Saturday a 10-year-old Florida boy and charged him with making a written threat to conduct a mass shooting, Fox News reports.
The School Threat Enforcement Team was immediately notified and began analytical research after the fifth-grader, a student at Patriot Elementary School in Cape Coral, Florida, sent a threatening text, but the case was assumed by The Youth Services Criminal Investigations Division due to the boy’s age.
After detectives interviewed the juvenile suspect and determined probable cause for his arrest, the police arrested the boy whose possible prank comes in light of the recent tragedy in Uvalde, Texas, in which 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos killed 19 pupils and two teachers.
Calling the student’s behavior sickening, Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno stressed that now it’s not the time to act like a little delinquent, adding that it’s paramount for them to make sure children are safe and there’s law and order in the schools.
Marceno also noted that the fifth-grader who made a fake threat is now experiencing real consequences, and has also come out forcefully on social media against would-be killers emphasizing that the police force will kill anyone that brings deadly force in this county.
