A Florida student has been arrested after threatening to 'shoot up' a school so he could 'step on the bloodied corpses' of victims, in a graphically violent post he made online.
The student at Nova High School in Davie allegedly made the threats on video game messaging app Discord.
'I want to shoot up a school. This is a genuine feeling. I want people to suffer,' the unnamed student wrote, reports the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
'I want to step on and or over their bloodied corpses and her [hear] the squelching of their wounds forcing out that last bit of blood,' menaced the student, adding that he wanted to also 'blow their heads off to make sure they're dead.'

He went on to say that he wanted to see the reactions on anyone who survived.
'I wish to see those I haven't shot shake in fear and scream and cry at such a heinous act. Then see the shock on their faces once I've shot them too.'
He has been charged with a felony for making a false report concerning the use of firearms in a violent manner.
The student has appeared before a Broward County judge and was ordered to stay in custody for 21 days while undergoing a psychiatric evaluation.
A tipster had identified the youth to authorities using the Fortify Florida app, which was created by the Florida legislature and named by students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, according to the Miami Herald.
Marjory Stoneman in Parkland was the scene of a horrific mass shooting in 2018 that left 17 people dead and 17 injured.
Nova High School is about 25 miles from Marjory Stoneman. Both schools are in the Broward School District - the sixth largest in the nation.

Davie police detectives were later contacted by the Broward School Board and Broward County Sheriff's Office Threat Assessment Unit about the threat.
The student admitted to being a Discord user, but told detectives who first confronted him and his mom at his home Wednesday night that he was not planning to follow through on the threat.
The youth said he was expressing how he felt and that he wanted people to know the pain he felt.
His mother was upset, according to a police report, and told detectives that there were no firearms in the home nor did her son have access to any.
