Putnam County Sheriff's Office: Runaway juvenile causes school lockdown

According to the Putnam County Sheriff's Office, they received a call from James A. Long Elementary School Thursday at 2:24 p.m., saying an unidentified caller contacted the school, stating that a shooting on campus was going to occur.

The school took the appropriate safety procedures and locked down. Jenkins Middle School also decided to lockdown due to the proximity to the elementary school.

The caller was later identified by PSCO as 13-year-old Gregory Henry when he was located on the middle school campus.

Through investigation, PCSO determined Henry was not a student of the middle school and that he was a runaway juvenile from Volusia County.

In Volusia, Henry was wanted for possession of marijuana charges, according to PCSO.
