An 11-year-old Central Florida student was charged with making a threat of a mass shooting, a felony.
A Creekside Middle School student made threats to commit a school shooting at Creekside or Silver Sands Middle School and he was arrested.
11-year-old Carlo “Kingston” Dorelli, of Port Orange, is charged with making a written threat of a mass shooting, according to local law enforcement.
Volusia County detectives were alerted via a tip to Fortify Florida that Carlo had made threats to conduct a shooting and shown off several weapons in a video chat. He also had a written list of people he claimed he would kill.
During a search of Carlo’s room, detectives recovered a large amount of airsoft rifles, pistols and fake ammunition along with knives, swords and other weapons. The list was also recovered.
Carlo indicated the threat was a joke. That’s not an excuse for the serious crime committed.
Volusia Sheriff Mike Chitwood also stated he will continue to publicly release names and photos of juveniles committing these crimes. “I can and will release the names and photos of juveniles who are committing these felonies, threatening our students, disrupting our schools and consuming law enforcement resources,” Sheriff Chitwood posted.
The juvenile was taken into custody and transported to the Volusia Family Resource Center for processing prior to transport to the Department of Juvenile Justice.
