A 15 Year-Old boy was arrested on Friday after authorities said he made several threats to shoot up his school on a gaming site.
The student who was arrested in Central Florida at his Holly Hill home, allegedly posted a comment on a video game chat platform using a fake name, vowing to bring his father’s M15 assault rifle to school and kill seven people “at a minimum.
The comment was reported to the FBI, and the FBI contacted the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office after tracing his username FalconWarrior920 and internet address to his home.
The teen admitted to making the comment but claimed it was a ‘joke’.
