Shooting threat at Seminole Ridge High made over a girl

A junior at Palm Beach Central High School threatened to shoot a group of Seminole Ridge High students whom he blamed for his failed attempts to convince a girl to date him, those students told police.

The 17-year-old was arrested Monday at Central High on a charge of threatening a shooting at a school, court records show. The Post is not naming the teen because he has not been charged as an adult.

On Monday morning, five Seminole Ridge High students approached a school officer about the threats the teen reportedly made Sunday on Snapchat, Palm Beach County Sheriff ’s Office records state.

In a group conversation on the app, the 17-year-old reportedly said, “your (sic) lucky I don’t shoot up Seminole,” which the other people in the group took to mean Seminole Ridge High.

The students said he sent a picture of the gun he planned to bring to school in his backpack. He said he’d shoot other people at the school whom he didn’t like as well.

Records indicate the teen spent his freshman year at Seminole Ridge High but currently is enrolled at Central High.

On Monday, the teen sent at least one student messages that made the student believe the teen was on his way to, or already at, Seminole High.

The school was placed on a code-yellow lockdown, school district authorities said. During a code-yellow, students can move within a school, but not outside its doors.

Sheriff ’s authorities met with the teen at Central High but he refused to speak to them without an attorney, records show.
