A 13-year-old boy, interviewed by police after online threats about a school shooting, opened fire at Apalachee High School, killing four and wounding nine.
When a classmate refused to let him back into the locked algebra classroom, the teen, armed with an assault-style rifle, opened fire on waiting students.
Witnesses described the harrowing scene, with one recalling, "It was about 10 or 15 [gunshots] at once, back-to-back," as students ducked for safety.
Officials highlighted the previous investigation, stating they lacked sufficient evidence to arrest the boy prior to the tragic event that led to multiple fatalities.
