Student charged with making written threats at school
Last Thursday, Dec. 1, School Resource Officers from the Cape Coral Police Department were made aware of a school threat at Cape Coral High School at 2300 Santa Barbara Blvd., South.
The School Resource Officer assigned to this school was informed that a student, later identified as Madison K. Trumpy, 19, was possibly a suspect who had written, “I have a gun in my bookbag, and I am going to kill all of you! You better run!” on one of the bathroom stalls in the girl’s restroom. According to Cape Police, school administration reviewed video footage near the restroom, which helped identify Trumpy as the suspect; another student inside the restroom witnessed Trumpy as the person who had written this message.
Cape Coral Police Department’s Major Crimes Unit responded to the scene and took over the investigation. Detectives matched the writing on the stall to Trumpy’s handwriting. She later admitted to writing this threat and stated that she took a photo of the threat and reported it to a counselor out of guilt.
Police say Trumpy also admitted to writing a bomb threat on Aug. 17, 2022, in the girl’s bathroom at Cape Coral High School.
Trumpy was subsequently transported to Lee County Jail and charged with
Written or Electronic Threats to Kill or Conduct a Mass Shooting F.S.S. 812.10(2)(b).
