The Flagler County Sheriff's Office arrested a female 16-year-old Flagler Palm Coast High School student on Friday, Nov. 8 after she allegedly threatened to shoot up the school because she forgot to put on a makeup spray.
The FCSO received a notification from the Federal Bureau of Investigations with a tip of a possible school shooting threat, a FCSO press release said. The girl had posted a photo of the bottom half of her face on a social media platform with the phrase "I forgot to use setting spray i’m gonna shoot up the school" across the photo.
The student was identified and the FPC resource deputy immediately located her and ensured there were no weapons campus, the press release said. The 16-year-old has been charged with felony written/electronic threat to kill or bodily harm another and was later released to her parents, per the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice.
Sheriff Rick Staly urged parents to continue being the sheriff in their own home and explain to their children that "stupid comments will get you arrested if you make a threat."
“The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office takes all threats seriously, especially ones made towards a school or its student body,” Staly said. “We don’t like arresting your child, but we will ensure Flagler County students are safe. I want to thank the FBI for sending us the tip so our deputies could act swiftly and make an arrest.”
