Overview
- Police say a 5:10 a.m. Jan. 23 tip alerted a school resource officer to a planned attack, leading detectives to identify a 15-year-old and visit her home by 6:50 a.m.
- The 15-year-old faces attempted homicide and possession of a weapon on school property charges, and a 14-year-old is charged as an accessory.
- School officials reported that a knife and a note were found in a student’s bag, though the arrest report reviewed by the Sentinel does not mention them and police declined further detail.
- The assistant principal questioned the 15-year-old at school, and large portions of those accounts and investigator interviews, including with a district mental health counselor, were redacted.
- Both students were taken to the Seminole County Juvenile Assessment Center for processing, and authorities have withheld identities while the investigation continues.
