A 10-year-old Florida student was arrested after he allegedly wrote on a classroom whiteboard about bringing a gun to school and left a “list of people who i’m gunna kill” in a desk, authorities said.
The student was arrested on a felony charge of making a written threat to kill after the message and list were found at Pride Elementary in Deltona, Volusia County Sheriff’s Office officials said Wednesday.
Sheriff’s office officials said the parents of the three students on the list were notified but the 10-year-old told deputies he didn’t mean it.
Video released by the sheriff’s office showed the child in handcuffs being taken from a cruiser and brought to a detention center.
“The parent of the defendant indicated he does not have access to any firearms. That doesn’t change the consequences of his actions,” the sheriff’s office said in a social media post. “This is another reminder to talk to your kids and teach them this lesson before they learn it in the juvenile justice system.”
