OKEECHOBEE -- Earlier this morning (Sept. 7), Logan Zamora, 12, was arrested in connection with written threats to kill, do bodily injury, or conduct a mass shooting or act of terrorism, a second-degree felony, using Instagram.
During a live video stream from an account later determined and admitted by Zamora to be his, Zamora threatened to shoot others by saying, "If you don't go off live, imma (I'm gonna) shoot your school up." Zamora also threatened to bring a gun to Osceola Middle School and kill other students in the live chat, telling them their specific class and that he was, "I know you're in (teachers named removed) class, I'm coming there with a gun."
In a brave display of "See Something Say Something," one of the involved parties reported the conversation and a video screen record of the threats.
During the investigation, it was determined that Logan Zamora was the possible suspect.
Detectives went to the address and spoke with the father. The father saw the evidence and immediately got his son, telling him to tell the detectives everything and to be truthful.
Zamora admitted to the threats, and a search warrant was obtained, and the Instagram account was searched, confirming the above.
Zamora was arrested and transported to the Okeechobee County Detention Facility for processing for the above charges.
We thank the student who brought this forward and the father for his integrity during this difficult time.
