SO SWAT team instructors train BSO School Resource Deputies at Falcon Cove Middle School in 2007.

A Snapchat post that included a “death list” of Falcon Cove Middle School students who the threat said would be killed on Monday resulted in the arrest of a 12-year-old Weston girl, Broward Sheriff’s Office announced Sunday.
