At around 10:30 am on Thursday, a 15-year-old teenager, despite being a student at a different school, entered a virtual class for Pompano Beach Middle School (BSO) in Broward County. He allegedly told the class: “You guys better hide. I’m gonna shoot it up,” before he turned his camera on and started dancing, according to Broward Sheriff’s Office Threat Management Unit (TMU).
It is currently unclear how he was able to enter the virtual class. Concerning the following threat, the school was placed on lockdown and the campus was searched, as some BSO staff and students were in the building at the time of the incident.
The teenager has not been named yet, as he is a minor. After following a short investigation, he was arrested by detectives and taken to Broward’s Juvenile Assessment Centre.
