Umatilla Middle School Student Charged Wednesday For Threatening A School Shooting

       The Lake County Sheriff's Office on Wednesday afternoon announced that a 13-year-old female student was arrested at Umatilla Middle School after she threatened a school shooting on Snapchat. The student posted the threat this morning after other students apparently got her in trouble for selling nicotine for vapes (according to her post).
 The student was interviewed at the school and admitted to making the threat. She was then arrested on a felony charge of making written threats to do violence.
      The Sheriff’s Office and Lake County Schools maintain a zero tolerance for such threats. Just three days ago, the school district and the Sheriff's Office both shared a video on their Facebook pages of Superintendent Diane Kornegay and Sheriff Peyton Grinnell warning of the consequences associated with making such threats to do violence.
      It was reported that the youth had no access to firearms.
