Boy, 11, Threatened To Shoot, Kill Several Students: Pinellas Sheriff

SEMINOLE, FL — An 11-year-old Seminole Middle School student was arrested Tuesday for making written threats to commit a mass shooting, according to a Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office news release.

Though PCSO named the boy, it’s Patch policy not to name minors accused of a crime unless they’ve been charged as an adult. It’s unknown whether he has been charged as a juvenile or an adult.

The boy sent photos of himself holding handguns to a classmate and threatened to shoot and kill several students at the school the following day, detectives said.

One of the messages said, “I’m going to kill him. All of them.”

Anyone with information on any threats is asked to notify the sheriff’s office at 727-582-6200 or at FortifyFL.
