15 Year Old Jailed For School Threats

A 15-year-old boy was arrested in Brevard County for making a threatening comment about a school, saying, “I’m shootin this school up.” Sheriff Wayne Ivey shared the teen’s name… Liahm Reidy… along with his photo on Facebook, aiming to send a strong message against such threats. The sheriff emphasized, “If you threaten to harm our schools, we will find you and lock you up.” The arrest followed a tip from the FBI about a TikTok comment. Although the boy claimed he was encouraged by a friend, Sheriff Ivey reiterated that threats, even in jest, will not be tolerated. The teen is charged with making electronic threats and is being held at the Juvenile Detention Center.
