Two 13-year-old female students were arrested yesterday afternoon at Tavares Middle School after a threat of a school shooting was written in marker on a bathroom mirror.
The school resource deputy was notified when other students found the threat in one of the girls’ bathrooms, at which time he began investigating.
The resource deputy was able to quickly identify the two female students who were responsible.
One admitted to writing the threat along with the other student.
When deputies searched their backpacks, each one had markers that matched the writing on the mirror.
The two girls were placed under arrest and transported to the Lake County Detention Center.
