VIDEO: SRO Foils Shooting Plot at Florida High School

A school resource officer was credited with stopping a shooting attack at a Florida high school Monday.

Coral Springs police spokeswoman Carla Kmiotek said in a statement that a 17-year-old boy was seen lifting his shirt and displaying a gun to several students during the school day.

A female student reported the incident to Officer Jeff Heinrich, an SRO at the school. Heinrich was able to locate the teen, Local 10 reports.

"He immediately detained him and (the teen) tried pulling away. The officer cuffed and searched him and recovered a loaded 9mm from his front waist band," Kmiotek said.

The teen was identified as a former student at the school.

A current student was taken into custody for an involuntary mental evaluation under the Florida's Baker Act law after he was found with a seven-page manifesto detailing a plan for a school shooting.
