Victim of a fight framed for false school shooting threat

Right now on Fox 35 News, a fake shooting threat at a local high school and deputies say it was designed to frame a student. Good evening and welcome. I'm Jack Royer. Hi there. I'm Hannah McKenzie. Somebody allegedly impersonated that boy and called it in a threat to the school. But cops say it was a setup designed to frame the victim of a brutal beatdown. Fox 35's Alexis Clevenger joins us live from Harmony High School right now. Alexis, a lot with this one. A little bit complex, confusing. Break it down for us. for us. Well Hannah and Jack, deputies actually had to sit down with the victim of that attack just last night because they say that somebody tried to make it seem like he was to blame for those threats but they determined that that wasn't the case at all and now they're working to find out who's actually responsible. First it was a fight, nine teens allegedly attacking one student who stood up for a girl who was being bullied at lunch then a threat that sent deputies looking for answers. Last night the Osceola County Sheriff's Office got a tip saying the victim of that fight planned to show up to the Harmony High School football game tonight and carry out a shooting. After the investigation was conducted it was determined that the information received was bogus and there was no way possible that the victim could engage in that type of behavior. But that wasn't the end of it. Today an alleged text message was circulating that a shooting would would happen at the school. Investigators say that threat was also false. We're not going to tolerate this type of joke behavior or any misinformation that is put out intentionally to deviate an active investigation or any other resources that put in for the safety of the kids. The school district sent us a statement saying in part, quote, we want to reassure our families and community that Harmony High School has not been placed on lockdown at any time today. They say safety and well-being of students and staff is their highest priority. Now, all of this is still under investigation. The Sheriff's Office did say that more arrests could be coming. Now, there is a football game tonight at Harmony High School. That game is still going to go on, but there's going to be some extra measures in place to make sure that everyone is safe. I'll break all of that down coming up ahead at six o'clock. For now, live in Osceola County, Alexis Clevenger, Fox 35 News.
