The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office arrested a Florida mother after she allegedly threatened to shoot up an elementary school in Lake Worth Beach, where her children were being moved to, according to NBC-affiliated television station WPTV.

Miranda Perez, 28, was charged with sending a threat to commit bodily injury after a disturbing conversation she allegedly had with a friend over Facebook Messenger on Sunday.

The Palm Beach County mother told the friend in a video chat that she would “Facebook friend Zachary Cruz because she likes ‘violent things,'” according to Perez’ arrest report. Zachary is the brother of Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz, who carried out an attack at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on February 2018.

Perez then allegedly wrote on Facebook Messenger, “I’m thinking of doing a school shooting at Barton” after the video chat.

The root of Perez’ ire stemmed from the fact that her local school district rezoned her kids to Barton Elementary School.
