Two teenagers charged in alleged school attack plot
Two Long Island, New York teenagers, aged fifteen and seventeen, have been charged for their alleged involvement in a suspected plot to attack their school next April, on the ninth anniversary of the Columbine High School shooting massacre.
The plot was uncovered when the fifteen-year-old suspect lost his journal at the McDonalds restaurant which he worked. The journal was found by a fellow classmate of the teenagers’ school, who quickly turned it over to school officials.
The journal is alleged to have outlined the teenagers’ plan to attack the school with guns and home-made bombs. The fifteen year old suspects’ home and computers were searched and evidence was allegedly collected that he tried to purchase black powder explosives and machine guns over the Internet.
A video was also found in which the same teenager allegedly names some students and staff he would like to attack at the school. The seventeen-year-old who was also arrested was allegedly planning to aid in the attack on the school.
The two teens were arrested and held in Long Island jail on misdemeanor conspiracy which is punishable by up to one year in prison. The fifteen-year-old will appear in juvenile court on Friday and the seventeen-year-old suspect is expected to plead not guilty at a hearing.
