LAKE COUNTY, Fla. — A 14-year-old boy was arrested Wednesday after he allegedly threatened to shoot up his school on Instagram.
Investigators said Brandon Cordova posted a comment on Instagram Aug. 10 in reference to shooting up Lake Minneola and South Lake high schools.
They said he posted a picture of a teenager accused in an Ohio school shooting holding two handguns and commented, “Someone bring me a charger or I’m shooting up South Lake High School on the first day of school, you have been warned Clermont.”
Another student saw the post and emailed the school, asking that something be done.
The principal called law enforcement and detectives were able to identify Instagram user KidKordova as Cordova.
He told investigators it was a joke.
Cordova was charged with written threats to kill.
