VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. — The Volusia Sheriff’s Office has made an arrest of a 16-year-old who made threats to shoot his school.

The threats were taken seriously once the teen said in a group chat that he’d proceed with the act on Monday.
Deputies quickly apprehended the teenager, who is facing felony charges, according to VSO.
