Florida teens and law enforcement save Washington high school from a disaster

Two Florida teens alerted authorities after spotting a TikTok video showing a detailed floor plan of Kamiakin High School in Kennewick, Washington, which led to an FBI investigation. The FBI matched the layout to the school and identified a 14-year-old freshman as the probable owner of the account. Known for prior threats against his ex-girlfriend, the teen was arrested after police discovered 24 firearms and extensive plans for a shooting in his room. Local law enforcement faced a pressing deadline to intervene before students returned to school. The incident underscores the critical role of community vigilance in preventing potential violence.

Authorities emphasized the importance of reporting suspicious online content. This case adds to the ongoing discussion about school safety and the impact of social media on youth behavior. Law enforcement continues to advocate for proactive measures to address threats in schools.
