Daytona Beach teen accused of president-killing search

A Daytona Beach teen is accused of searching on a school computer for information about how to kill the president.

What is alleged

The allegation concerns a search made on a school computer. The teen is described as later saying, “I’m just kidding.”

The incident has drawn attention because it involved a threat-related search connected to the president. The available account does not establish whether the search led to an arrest, criminal charge, school discipline or another official action.

What remains to be established

The school involved, the teen’s age, the date of the search and the identity of the president are not stated. The account also does not establish whether law enforcement or school officials issued a statement, or whether a court record was filed.

Any formal action would be separate from the accusation itself. A search on a school computer and the teen’s stated explanation do not, by themselves, establish what legal or school consequences may follow.

What to watch

Further statements from the school or law enforcement could clarify whether the teen was charged, disciplined or referred for another review. Any court filing or official school notice would provide additional details about the allegation and next steps.
