According to a report from the Collier County sheriff’s office, a student told a youth relations deputy on campus that another student threatened to shoot him and some of his friends at school.
The report indicates how the student informed the deputy the threat was made on Snapchat Wednesday morning.
The 12-year-old boy allegedly sent a message on Snapchat saying, “I can kill him. I have a knife in my backpack. I canceled my school shooting. It’s going to be tomorrow.”
The reports also said the same student talked about wanting to bring a gun to school and shoot people.
Fox 4 is not naming the student who was arrested or showing his mugshot because he’s a minor.
