A STUDENT who has allegedly sparked two lockdowns at a Gold Coast school today has made taunting posts online saying ‘it ain’t over til I say it’s over’.
Upper Coomera State College was put in lockdown at 10.30am after a high school student allegedly posted a shooting threat on Facebook in the early hours of this morning.
“I’m shoot the f***ing school tomorrow, got a gun … this will be nothing on Colombians k***s,’ the student wrote.
“Tomorrow k*** J block tomorrow lunch time and you need to stand up be strong enough for the first time and you need to attend the morning but can call in if I need to talk later,” read the rambling 3am Facebook post.
School administrators immediately put the school into precautionary lockdown, keeping students in classrooms while worried parents milled outside.
However, just an hour and a half after the first lockdown was lifted, the school was again locked down at 1.30pm when the student allegedly posted a photo of a handgun on Facebook with ‘it ain’t over til I say it’s over’.

The school remained locked down until just before 3pm.
