A Miami-Dade Public Schools student was questioned by police after posting a photo on Snapchat of himself holding an assault-style rifle and a menacing message.

One week after a school shooting in Parkland rekindled a long-running debate about gun control, police were ordered to speak with a student in Miami-Dade County who posted a photo of himself on Snapchat holding an assault-style rifle with the message, “Here’s a big fat F--- YOU to everyone.”
