14-year-old accused in Volusia school shooting threats, sheriff’s office says HOLLY HILL, Fla. — A 14-year-old boy was taken into custody Friday at his home in Holly Hill after allegedly making shooting threats naming two high schools, according to the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office. The sheriff’s office said on social media that its Domestic Security Unit and School Resource Unit worked with the Daytona Beach Police Department to investigate the alleged threats, which were made on Snapchat and claimed that shootings would occur at Seabreeze and Mainland high schools. Volusia County detectives helped Daytona Beach police work with Snapchat and Apple to identify the source of the posts as a 14-year-old Mainland High School student who had been suspended from school a day prior “for making threatening statements on campus,” according to the sheriff’s office. Deputies contacted the boy, took him into custody, and turned him over to Daytona Beach police to face two counts of making written threats to kill, as well as unlawful use of a two-way communication device, the post states.
