Full Title: Two boys, 13 and 14, arrested after one of them tells Siri he wants to 'shoot up a school' and posts virtual assistant's response recommending several local schools on social media as a 'joke'

Two Indiana boys are in custody after a 13-year-old told Siri that he was going to shoot up a school and then posted the virtual assistant's reply on social media.

The Valparaiso Police Department said Thursday night that the incident started when a boy, 13, who is not being named, told Apple's virtual assistant: 'I am going to shoot up a school.'

Siri then responded with a list of schools in Valparaiso, Indiana, where the boy was visiting relatives at the time

The 13-year-old is being held at the Porter County Juvenile Detention Center on a felony charge of Intimidation, according to the Northwest Indiana Times.

The 14-year old boy is also being held on a felony charge of intimidation, as well as criminal recklessness with a handgun.

Shouldn’t Siri be charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor for giving him a list of schools to shoot up?
