POMPANO BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - The Broward Sheriff’s Office arrested two 14-year-old boys for threatening to shoot and kill students and staff at Pompano Beach Middle School.

Officials said the 14-year-old boys each posted messages on social media threatening to shoot at the middle school last Wednesday.

The two chilling threats caused a lockdown at the school.

The teens were charged with making written threats to kill.

The messages read in part, “Be ready on the 14th. It’s gone be blood everywhere” and “I’mma shoot all y’all.”

The posts were reported to the sheriff’s office, who said the two teens eventually admitted to posting them but never intended to carry the threats out.
