SOUTH BEND, Ind. — A 16-year-old boy is accused of plotting an attack on his high school, officials said Thursday, alleging that he discussed plans by e-mail with another person to carry out simultaneous “Columbine- like mass murders” in two states on Sept. 11, 2008.
Authorities detained the teen Tuesday, St. Joseph County prosecutor Michael Dvorak said Thursday. His office was preparing charges of conspiracy to commit murder after authorities found more than 100 knives at his home, Dvorak said.
School officials learned he had exchanged e-mails Sunday with a person in Ohio in which they discussed carrying out attacks, Dvorak said.
