Video After The Jump
FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — A 10-year-old Florida fifth grade student has been arrested after making a school threat.
Investigators learned of the threats made by the boy on Saturday & arrested him, Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno said in a social media post.
“This student’s behavior is sickening, especially after the recent tragedy in Uvalde, Texas,” the sheriff said.
An 18-year-old gunman entered Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday & opened fire on a fourth grade classroom, killing 19 students & 2 teachers.
Marceno said that making sure “our children are safe is paramount.”
Investigators learned of a threatening text message sent by the boy, who attended Patriot Elementary School in Cape Coral.
“We will have law & order in our schools! My team didn’t hesitate one second…NOT ONE SECOND, to investigate this threat,” Marceno said.
He said the school threat enforcement team was notified & began analytical research on the threat. Detectives then interviewed the boy & developed probable cause for his arrest.
The boy was charged with making a written threat to conduct a mass shooting.
“Right now is not the time to act like a little delinquent. It’s not funny. This child made a fake threat & now he’s experiencing real consequences,” the sheriff said.
In a YouTube video, the sheriff’s office showed a deputy walking to the boy to a squad car.
Sheriff’s officials did not say whether the boy remained in a juvenile facility or was released to his parents.
