Rymfire Elementary School went on lockdown this afternoon after a student called 911 and falsely reported a school shooting, according to the Flagler County Sheriff's Office.
The student made the call at about 12:23 p.m. Oct. 26. Sheriff's Office deputies and local firefighters responded and cleared the school by 1 p.m., determining that there was no threat.
"Whether they did it as a joke or a prank, we are unsure at this time, but that child is going to be questioned and more than likely there will be consequences," FCSO Public Affairs Officer Melissa Morreale said.
A similar incident happened on Sept. 2, when an 11-year-old girl at the school called 911 and said, falsely, that she'd heard gunshots.
She later told law enforcement that other students had urged her to make the call as a prank.
That girl was arrested and charged with multiple offenses.
The FCSO's public affairs office wasn't immediately sure Oct. 26 if the same student was involved in today's incident.
