A 12-year-old girl in Florida faces felony charges after authorities said she used a classmate's account to send a threat to shoot up her elementary school.

The Volusia Sheriff's Office charged her with making written or electronic threats to kill and unlawful use of a two-way communications device. Both are felonies.

Detectives received a report over the weekend about an explicit written threat sent to a teacher at Louise S. McInnis Elementary School. The sender threatened the teacher and said they would shoot up the school on the last day of class.

The message came from a student account belonging to a 12-year-old boy. Detectives determined the boy's ex-girlfriend sent it using his login information.

The sheriff's office posted arrest video on Facebook that has drawn more than one million views. The footage shows deputies leading the handcuffed girl, who has green hair and a septum piercing, from a patrol car to the jail. She was shackled and escorted into a cell, where she sat on a bench.

The elementary school did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
