An 11-year-old boy, Gavinn Carter, has been arrested by the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office for making a false threat of a shooting at Silver Sands Middle School. Carter sent the threat through the Fortify Florida app.
In addition to Carter, his mother’s boyfriend, 27-year-old Raymond Christopher-Cord Robertson, was also arrested on charges of obstruction of justice.
Robertson is accused of interfering with the investigation into the false threat.
The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office has not released further details about the incident at this time.
However, more information is expected to be made public as the case progresses.
Armwood High School in Seffner, Florida, is currently under lockdown following reports of a weapon discovered on campus.
School administrators have restricted all student movement within the school building to ensure safety, and no one is permitted to leave classrooms or move freely in the hallways at this time.
The school is working closely with local law enforcement, who are on-site conducting a thorough investigation to determine the situation and ensure the safety of all students and staff.
Parents and guardians have been notified, and additional updates will be provided as the investigation progresses.
Authorities are urging parents to avoid the campus area until the lockdown is lifted and safety protocols have been fully addressed.
