Taylor High School Students, Ages 16 and 17, Arrested for Shooting Threats on Snapchat

UPDATE: Two students at Taylor High School, Trinity Mack (17) and Brayden Severance (16), were arrested and charged with a felony on Thursday after making a threatening comment that was perceived as a joke.

The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office responded to the incident and determined that the threat, while intended as a joke, was serious enough to warrant criminal charges.

ORIGINAL REPORT:

Two additional students have been taken into custody in connection with a school shooting threat.

The 16-year-old and 17-year-old students from Taylor High School in Pierson made the threat on Snapchat.

While the individuals involved claimed the threat was a “joke,” it is a serious matter that will not be treated lightly.
