DANIA BEACH, Fla. — A 16-year-old boy is accused of making several bomb threats to schools in South Florida and the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
The Broward County Sheriff’s Office says that around 10 a.m. on Friday, a teenager called 911 and said, “About to do a bombing at South Florida Broward High School.” BSO says the teen then said that the bombing would happen in two hours.
BSO says that the school was removed right away and that the teen called back a few minutes later to say that he was going to shoot up South Broward High School and Attucks Middle School.
BSO says that both schools are in Hollywood, and the threat made Attucks Middle School go into lockdown mode.
BSO says that the teen kept making bomb threats at Coconut Creek High School, Blanche Ely High School, Coral Glades High School, and the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
Investigators looked everywhere and found that there was no real threat.
The 16-year-old boy was caught because the BSO Threat Management Unit worked with the Hollywood Police Department, the Coral Springs Threat Management Unit, and the Coconut Police Department.
BSO says he did not go to any of the places that were hurt.
The teenager is being charged with making written threats to kill, making a fake report of a bomb or gun, and causing trouble at a school event.
