Clay County Sheriff's Office (CCSO)

CLAY COUNTY, Fla. — The Clay County Sheriff’s Office and the Clay County School District are investigating a social media post by a Clay High School student that showed what looked like a firearm after a recent fight.

Officials say a threat assessment was done, including interviews and searches.

They found the photo actually showed an airsoft pistol, not a real gun, and the post was about a previous altercation.

The investigation continues, but there are no confirmed threats to the school at this time.

To keep everyone safe, extra deputies will be on campus Tuesday morning as a precaution, CCSO said.

Authorities encourage anyone who sees something suspicious to say something. Tips can be reported using the SaferWatch or FortifyFL apps, or by calling (904) 264-6512.
