FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. – A 16-year-old girl sent messages on Instagram claiming she was a sociopath who wanted to murder someone and commit a school shooting, according to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said a concerned parent called them Monday morning after seeing messages on a group chat her son was in on Instagram.
Deputies said they were able to identify the sender as a member of the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Explorers program, which teaches teens about the law enforcement profession.
That is not a type of behavior tolerated by our Sheriff’s Explorers or anyone else for that matter,” Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said.
We hope this student gets the help that she is crying out for.”The 16-year-old Flagler Palm Coast High School student was arrested on a charge of sending a written threat to conduct a mass shooting, which is a felony.
