The kid was allegedly working alone, though a copycat incident saw more threats against Florida schools.

    Damn, gizmodo being a good neighbor by not naming the kid is a surprise, but a welcome one

      There’s a law preventing them from doing so because it’s a minor

        From the article:

        The name of the 11-year-old has been released but Gizmodo is opting not to share it. The decision to do a bunch of swatting calls was dumb and incredibly dangerous and hopefully, this kid eventually learns his lesson. But he’s still young and here’s hoping this doesn’t ruin his life in ways that he can never bounce back from, though he does face very serious charges.
