The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office arrested an 11-year-old girl after an investigation revealed she had written a shooting threat on a bathroom wall at Indian Trails Middle School on Tuesday, Feb. 3.
The school resource deputy was alerted to a threat — “school shooting Feb 4th:)”— written on a bathroom wall. School administrators and the SRD immediately took action to identify, locate and arrest the student responsible for the threat, according to an FCSO press release.
The student said that a person, whom she communicated with only online, dared her to write the message on the wall. She also said that she was bored and did not think this was going to be a big deal or a serious matter.
But Flagler Schools Superintendent LaShakia Moore told the Observer that any school threat will be taken seriously.
"If you make a threat you better mean it, because we're going to treat it like you do,” Moore told the Observer.
“This behavior is never tolerated on any of our Flagler Schools campuses,” Moore said in the press release. “Threatening the well-being of our students carries immediate consequences and are handled in partnership with the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. We encourage everyone to always take these matters seriously. Student safety remains our top priority.”
