According to a Daytona Beach Police report, the school's resource officer was called to the boys' locker room Monday, where he met with Mark Tweedy, the school's dean of discipline, and a 15-year-old student from Ormond Beach.

  • A lower portion of an AR-15;
  • Two 30-round magazines;
  • 1 10-round magazine;
  • 29 12-gauge shotgun rounds.

The report said the student told the officer that he also took his father's disassembled AR-15 and shotgun, met another student, a 14-year-old, at the pavilion on the east side of the Granada Bridge on Thursday. The older teen is accused of handing the younger boy the materials.

The upper portion of the AR-15 and shotgun were found in the 14-year-old boy's bedroom, the incident report said.

The two male students told officials they planned to go to La Playa Resort & Suites and steal televisions from the hotel, which was closed due to Hurricane Matthew, according to police.

The 14-year-old boy, also of Ormond Beach, had a notebook and map of the hotel, the report added.
