A 12-year-old Florida girl is facing felony charges after authorities say she used a classmate’s account to make chilling threats to “shoot up” her elementary school.
The girl was charged with making a written or electronic threat to kill and unlawful use of a two-way communication device, both felonies, according to the Volusia Sheriff’s Office.
Over the weekend, detectives received a report that someone had sent an explicit written threat to a teacher at Louis S. McGinnis Elementary School.

In addition to threatening the teacher, the sender said they would “shoot up the school” on the last day of classes, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
While the message was sent from a 12-year-old boy’s student account, detectives determined the message was sent by his ex-girlfriend, who had his login information, officials said.
