A 12-year-old Florida girl is facing felony charges<\/a> after authorities claim she used a classmate\u2019s account to send a chilling threat to “shoot up” her elementary school.<\/p>\n

The girl is charged with making written or electronic threats to kill and unlawful use of a two-way communications device, both felonies, according to the Volusia Sheriff’s Office<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, detectives received a report about an explicit written threat sent to a teacher at Louise S. McInnis Elementary School<\/a>.<\/p>\n
