[Asia Economy New York=Special Correspondent Joselgina] In the United States, where mass shootings continue, a 10-year-old elementary school boy was arrested after leaving a text message threatening a large-scale shooting.


According to NBC News on the 30th (local time), the Lee County Sheriff's Office in Florida recognized that an elementary school student had left a threatening text message about a shooting on the 28th and informed the local school threat response team to initiate an investigation. The school threat response team then investigated the fifth-grade boy and charged him with threatening to carry out a large-scale shooting.



A video released by authorities shows the boy being taken into custody while riding in a police car. The Lee County Sheriff mentioned in a statement that this incident occurred just days after the Texas elementary school shooting tragedy, which claimed the lives of 21 people, including 19 children, saying, "This student's behavior chills us, especially right after the Texas Uvalde tragedy. Now is a time when even minor criminal acts must not be committed," he warned.
