PENSACOLA - A seventh-grader who compiled what officials call a "hit list" of students and faculty members has been indefinitely suspended from a suburban Pensacola school.
Norm Ross, Escambia County deputy superintendent of schools, said the list included nine students and three faculty members whom the student "wanted dead."
A student and a parent reported the incident at Bellview Middle School to a sheriff's deputy on Wednesday. The Escambia County Sheriff's Office reported the incident to the State Attorney's Office. But Ross said no charges could be filed because there was no direct threat on the list.
14 sexual predators arrested, face deportation
ORLANDO - Fourteen immigrants who are convicted sexual predators have been arrested in central Florida and face deportation. Authorities are searching for six more.
The arrests come under Operation Predator, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement project designed to deport immigrants who commit sex crimes in the United States. Twenty-six people have been arrested in central Florida since July.
The program will start deportation hearings for the 14 arrested men, although some have asked to be expelled from the country as soon as possible. Federal law allows for the deportation of convicted immigrants.
