NY Teen Arrested for Plotting a Columbine-Style Attack at Monroe Woodbury High School

"MONROE — A 15-year-old boy from Monroe is being held in a psychiatric hospital on charges that he stored bottles of gasoline, makeshift fuses, a torch, a machete and three tanks of propane as he plotted to attack former fellow students at Monroe-Woodbury High School, police said Tuesday.
The unnamed youth was arrested Monday evening, after his house was searched by Monroe police and members of the Orange County District Attorney's Office. Police said he told them he planned to attack the school on April 20, the anniversary of the 1999 attacks by two students at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., and the birthday of Adolf Hitler.
The investigation continued Tuesday, but Monroe police said it appeared that the youth acted alone.
The boy told police that he “had a lot of hatred” toward many of his fellow students, police said in a news release Tuesday. They said he recently began attending another school, which they didn't name.
In a message posted on the Monroe-Woodbury School District's Web site, Superintendent Joseph DiLorenzo wrote that "The student, although registered with the district, attends school at a satellite location. The police believe that the threat had credibility and the investigation is ongoing. The willingness of students to come forward with information and the quick response of the police have averted any threat to the district."
The boy's parents were unaware of his cache of contraband or his intentions, police said, and they cooperated with the investigation.
The district attorney's computer crimes unit is examining computers and other electronic devices that were seized during the search.
Police said the boy told them he he was “actively seeking a military assault-style weapon that could hold as many rounds as possible,” and that he had already purchased a black trench coat like the ones worn by the Columbine killers."

But if he had done it, I would possibly be dead, so I am glad the police arrested him just in case he actually did.

Not that i disagree with you higginz511, but for whatever reason, the Police had reason to beleive he was actually gonna do it.
Damn. One day I should just call up my school from a payphone and be like "Hey. Gunna' shoot up the school today".
Day off :buddy:
Generally when someone attempts to buy a gun and has already stocked up on potential explosives then they are planning to go through with it.

I like how the news reporter threw in "that's Adolf Hitler's Birthday"
Its obvious hes a nazi. Its so related to the story.
"The birthday of Adolf Hitler", was that needed?

well the t guys that did the Columbine attack in 1999 did it on hitler's birthday in "honor" of him.
Scheduled April 20?
That's like, in 6 months.
Why the fuck do you stock up on gasoline filled bottles and bombs 6 months prior?

that's what i was wondering....
at least they say 'columbine-style attack'. here in germany the word rampage got a new meaning, everyone
uses it when they talk about school shootings and school shootings only. its so fucking annoying, like that
bunch of shootings we had would outnumber any normal rampages. when are people gonna stop hyping
that shit?
