JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A Jacksonville teenager has been arrested – accused of threatening to shoot up a local day care.
Investigators said he posted the threat on social media – via his Xbox.
The 15-year-old was arrested at his family’s apartment on the Northside. We are not releasing his name – because of his age.
The San Marcos, TX Police Department was the first to investigate the online threat. When the threat was posted -- it prompted law enforcement agencies across the country with a community named San Marco in their jurisdiction to be put on alert. The threat did not specifically name any particular day care in San Marco.
When police in Texas learned the threat came from an IP address in Jacksonville, they alerted the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. Investigators traced the IP address to an apartment inside the Mission Pointe apartment complex on Biscayne Boulevard.
Police said the 15-year-old suspect and his two younger siblings were at home and officers contacted the teen’s mother and stayed there until she arrived. The mother gave the officers consent to search the apartment.
Officers said they found an Xbox and laptop then later determined the 15-year-old may have used them to post the threats online. What he told officers was removed from the arrest report.
This is a developing story and will be updated as News4JAX learns more information.
