12-year-old charged in connection with school threat at Gulf Middle
A 12-year-old student has been arrested in connection with a school threat at Gulf Middle School.
School Resource Officer Leonard Salecki was made aware on Monday of “a written threat to conduct a school shooting” at the campus at 1809 S.W. 36th Terrace.
“A teacher was given a hand-written note by a student, not the offender, that had a written threat regarding shooting up the school,” a release from the Cape Coral Police Department issued early Monday evening states. “The note read, ‘The school gonna get shot see yau soon 2/11/19’.”
The school administration, Salecki, and CCPD Detective Patricia Bell became immediately involved and an investigation began, leading to the arrest of the boy on a charge of written threat to conduct mass shooting.
He was transferred to the Juvenile Assessment Center.
