WESTON, FL – Broward Sheriff’s Office Weston deputies, working with investigators from the Threat Management Unit and the Real Time Crime Center, have arrested a 16-year-old male for threats of violence made Friday and Monday to Cypress Bay High School in Weston.
According to police, the school was placed on a “code red” Friday, December 6, after school employees received texts and emails warning there would be a shooting at the school. The school was thoroughly searched as detectives followed leads in an attempt to identify the sender.
On Monday, December 9, the threats continued as faculty and students received more threatening messages, causing the school to be placed on “code yellow.”
