A Florida middle school student's incredible cache of weapons has been revealed after the 11 year old allegedly bragged about his kill list and threatened to shoot up two schools.
Carlo 'Kingston' Dorelli, of Port Orange, has been charged with making a written threat of a mass shooting - a felony - after he threatened to shoot up either his school, Creekside Middle School, or nearby Silver Sands Middle School, the Volusia County Sheriff's Office announced Monday.
Authorities said they received a tip from other students that Dorelli showed off his collection of weapons in a FaceTime call, along with a list of targets.
Some said they could not tell if the weapons were real or fake, WESH reports.
'He had written a list of names and targets,' Sheriff Mike Chitwood wrote on Facebook. 'He says it was all a joke.'
During an ensuing search of the boy's room, authorities found a large amount of airsoft rifles, fake ammunition, swords, knives and throwing stars - which the sheriff's office splayed out on a table like a drug bust.
Officials also found a paper in his room with several names that appeared to have stab marks next to them.
The child later admitted to showing his friends his collection of airsoft rifles and some of his knives, but could not remember if he told them that 'the airsoft rifles were not real, functioning firearms,' according to an affidavit obtained by Spectrum News 13.
He said the other students 'began to discuss how [he] was going to complete a shooting,' but said he had 'no intention of causing any of the listed individuals harm,' according to WSVN.
Dorelli was then taken into custody, as deputies filmed him being handcuffed and perp walked into the Volusia Family Resource Center for processing before he would be transported to the Department of Juvenile Justice.
Volusia County School District officials later told WESH that 'safety is our top priority, and this situation exemplifies how the security measures in place at our schools, as well as our partnership with law enforcement, ensures the safety of our students and staff.
'Thank you to the students who spoke up and submitted a tip when they heard something suspicious,' school officials said.
'We take all reports extremely seriously and work with law enforcement to ensure they are thoroughly investigated,' they added.
'We continue to encourage our students that if they see or hear something, they should inform an adult immediately or submit a tip to Fortify Florida.'
Dorelli's arrest came just days after Chitwood vowed to hold any child accountable who makes prank threats amid a flood of bogus tips following the deadly shooting at Apalachee High School in Georgia.
Florida authorities had received 54 phony tips of an impending school shooting in a single night following the tragedy, costing the department about $20,000 in taxpayer money, Chitwood said.
'Every time we make an arrest, your kid’s photo is going to be put out there, and if I can do it, I'm going to perp walk your kid so that everyone can see what your kid's up to,' Chitwood vowed.
'For the little bastards out there who think this is funny, ha ha ha, you want to get on social media: You ain't that smart... You're getting caught,' he added.
