ORLANDO, Fla. - Authorities in Orange County said a 14-year-old was arrested on Monday after allegedly calling 911 to report an active shooter at University High School.
The call prompted a large law enforcement response to the campus, according to the Orange County Sheriff's Office.
What they're saying:
Investigators determined the report was fabricated.
"Those deputies could not be in their areas addressing real crime," the sheriff's office wrote in a social media post, "all because someone thought it would be hilarious to call 911 and make up a story that is every parent's and student’s nightmare."
