HENRICO, Va. (WWBT) - An 11-year-old boy from Henrico is in custody for threatening to blow up schools in multiple states and threatening mass shootings. Police say a week before school was over back in May, that 11-year-old made more than 20 calls to schools throughout the country claiming schools would get bombed or that a teacher had been shot. Many of those calls to Florida schools, and now, authorities are calling for his extradition.
