Florida Police charge 2 minors with conspiracy to commit a mass shooting

Sheriff Carmine Marceno from the Lee County Sheriff’s Office in Fort Myers, Fla. said on Thursday that two students from Harns Marsh Middle School have been charged with conspiracy to commit a mass shooting. Marceno said police received a tip that a Grade 8 student at the school had a gun in their bag. While no gun was found on the student, police did find a map of the school that had the locations of cameras in the school. A subsequent investigation of their homes turned up a gun and several knives.
