‘It Needs to Become a Trend’: Sheriff’s Office Arrests 3 Juveniles in 3 Days for Gun Violence Threats
Right now, we’re living in scary times. Gun violence is everywhere, and we constantly have to be on alert. It’s really scary as moms to drop our kids off at school, hoping and praying they will return to us safely at the end of the day. Threats of violence are equally as frightening, but not holding kids accountable because of their age is even more terrifying.
In Volusia County, Florida, Sheriff Mike Chitwood doesn’t care how old you are. If you’re going to commit a crime, he’s going to show your face and tell the public exactly what you did. It’s bold, but we’d be lying if we said we didn’t like it.
On October 5, 2025, 11-year-old Jesse McIntyre allegedly made a threat against his school in a TikTok comment. When the FBI notified the Volusia Sheriff’s Office, authorities got right to work. Deputies went to the boy’s home to question him about the threat. He reportedly wrote he intended to “shoot up” Campbell Middle School in Daytona Beach. The threat included specific staff members.
