PHILADELPHIA — A 15-year-old boy stole his father’s guns to use in a suicidal attack against enemies at his suburban Philadelphia high school but was thwarted when a friend threw the weapons into a river, authorities said.
The alleged plot was uncovered after the father reported the three weapons missing, prompting a police investigation that led to an attempted-murder charge filed Tuesday against his son.
The Pottstown High School freshman was being held in a secure facility, Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman told The Associated Press. He does not yet have a lawyer, and no court dates are scheduled, she said.
