A Brooklyn teen was busted for allegedly making multiple threats to schools across Texas and Florida – even personally targeting a relative of one of the victims of the 2022 Uvalde school massacre on TikTok, authorities announced this week.
The 16-year-old boy was picked up May 1 at his Brooklyn home and charged with one felony count of making terroristic threats, the Uvalde Police Department said Wednesday.
In addition to the threats to the Uvalde shooting victim’s family, he is accused of making multiple “swatting” – or false report – calls and sending threats to the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District on social media back in January, police said.
He also admitted to making multiple swatting calls to schools and law enforcement agencies in Uvalde and San Antonio, as well as Coral Springs, and Parkland, Florida, authorities said.

He’s a minor. They’ll likely not identify him at all.
Yes, that ‘might’ be the reason. Legal discretion and social prudence. Yeah.
Sixteen years old with a Dark past and Dark future, I’ll guess.
He’s a minor, so they won’t. They didn’t even identify the neighborhood he’s from, which I was curious about.
The photos don’t narrow it down much.
I’ll bet when he registers to vote there will be a big “D” after his party preference.
I’m of the opinion that this “swatting” thing is a very serious offense and could easily get people killed. It merits charges just a bit shy of “attempted murder”. That these acts were directed against the folks from Uvalde is especially despicable. Also, we have here a misguided teenager looking to make some kind of notorious name for himself, here, with this very low involvement (so he thought) tel call or internet posting. This becomes starting fires and burning down buildings next month.
3 years, not a minute less.
More human debris...
