Palatka High School student accused of threatening to kill classmates in music video, sheriff says

PALATKA, Fla. – A 16-year-old Palatka Junior-Senior High School student was arrested and charged Thursday with threatening to kill classmates after he posted a music video on his social media account, the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office said.

Victims told the sheriff’s office that they have classes with him and that he’s previously made threats against them, saying he would “blow up their houses” and “fight” them.

The music video he posted described where he would shoot the victims and said statements like “I will end you,” the sheriff’s office said.

The student was charged with three counts of written or electronic threats to kill, do bodily injury, conduct a mass shooting or act of terrorism, a second-degree felony.
