A South Carolina high school student has been charged in connection with a Snapchat post warning of a "round two of Florida."

Several people sent Spectrum News messages of the threat, including the Snapchat photo, saying the student was expelled from Blake High School in Hillsborough County. 

Local officials have not said anything on who the student is or if he went to Blake High School, however, the Polk County Sheriff's Office did post an update on several threats made against county high schools, linking those to the South Carolina student. 

The Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office said a parent alerted deputies about the social media threat Wednesday night. 

The Snapchat photo depicted a student wearing a mask and holding an assault rifle with the caption, "Round 2 of Florida tomorrow."

The freshman told deputies the message was intended to be a joke.

Spartanburg School District 3 Spokeswoman Sherri Horton said the threat is being taken seriously. She said the timing of the message, which came just hours after the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, that left 17 people dead, heightened the perception of the threat. 

The student is charged with disturbing schools.
