LEON COUNTY, Fla. — A 15-year-old has been arrested after making a threat against Leon High School.
On Wednesday, The Florida Department of Law Enforcement received information about possible threats against Leon High School. FDLE then contacted the Leon County Sheriff's Office regarding their on-going investigation into a threat made against the school on Friday.
Wednesday's threat was communicated via text message to several students in the school, stating the suspect was "part of the school shooting."
