According to reports an eight grader at Lake Marion Creek middle school in Polk County was arrested after bringing a gun to school. The student showed it to classmates and was overheard saying I will "shoot up the school." Police in Polk County found out the middle schooler got the gun from his parents bedroom. His parents say the gun was locked inside of their bedroom, and he went and go it while they were out of town. Some witnesses say the suspect was being picked on and this is what led to him bringing the gun.

Im very happy that one of the students spoke up and said something. There are always signs but unfortunately a lot of people don't speak up. If you see or hear threats online or in person, you should always report it to the authorities.

It's true what they say, we live in paradise.

Not only do we love in paradise but we're surrounded by some of the most beautiful locations that are driving-distance. While others have to hop on a plane to experience the fresh beach waters and sands, we just have to hop in the car to reach it; which makes for a fun weekend getaway!
