A disturbed Virginia tween with an interest in snuff films and animal cruelty called in more than 20 violent threats to several Florida schools in May — including one in which he said there were two bombs at an elementary school, and he’d “shoot every police officer that responded,” authorities in the Sunshine State said.

The so-called “juvenile terrorist” — who hasn’t been identified because he’s a minor — was arrested July 19 in Henrico County, Va., about two months after an alleged nine-day spree of phone calls that mostly targeted a handful of schools in Flagler County, Fla.
