(full article title: ‘If someone got hurt, I probably wouldn’t care,’ says teenager who is charged with bringing explosives to Utah high school)
A teenager from southern Utah who was accused of raising a homemade Islamic State group flag in place of an American flag and lighting an explosive device at school was charged on Monday.
Washington County prosecutors filed one first-degree-felony charge each of attempted murder and possession of a weapon of mass destruction. The 16-year-old was also charged with graffiti, a class A misdemeanor, and abuse of the flag, a class B misdemeanor.
On Feb. 15, officials found what appeared to be support for the Islamic State group at Hurricane High School.
Someone had flown a black flag, with white painted-on Islamic State lettering, and wrote “ISIS is comi” in red spray paint on a cinder block wall of the school. The school’s U.S. flag was cut up and left on a bench next to the flagpole.
At the time, officials believed it was a prank.
Two weeks later, on March 5, a 16-year-old went to school with two backpacks, according to court documents.
One of the backpacks contained a metal soup can filled with BB shots that were removed from their shells, an improvised fuse, gunpowder, matches, three 17 ounce bottles of gasoline, and JROTC clothing.
Surveillance footage showed the 16-year-old — wearing a Pine View Panthers JROTC patch and a green military style hat — waiting in the lunch line at the cafeteria, court documents state.(snip)
After a few minutes, he got back up and went to the hallway, where he walked in a circle, then back into the cafeteria, to the vending machines.
He leaned a black-and blue-backpack against the vending machine, lit a fuse , and walked away.
