BOCA RATON, FL (Boca Post) — Boca Raton High School is the latest in a recent rash of unfounded reports of school shootings and/or suspicious armed individuals on campuses across south Florida.
As Boca Post reported this week, several south Florida schools have had false reports made about a shooter or suspicious person on campus, forcing immediate lockdowns and action by law enforcement.
