COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A teen accused of planning a massacre at Harrison High School in Colorado has been charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder.
Prosecutors in Colorado Springs said the 17-year-old boy was being charged as a juvenile.
He was accused of plotting with a 16-year-old girl to shoot as many students as possible during a school-wide pep rally. The rally May 4 was canceled.
Police said the two 11th-graders had blueprints of the school, and the boy had instructions for making pipe bombs. The boy told police he was just curious about how to make them, and the blueprints were so he could find exits during fire drills.
“It was chilling,” Colorado Springs school resource officer Brian Strickland told the Colorado Springs Gazette. “There was no doubt something was in the planning stages.”
Both teens were charged with interference with an educational institution.
“(The girl) said their plan was to kill more than 33 students so it would be the biggest in history and so she would be famous,” Strickland wrote in his report. “She gave no specific reason as to why she wanted to kill numerous students, other than she just doesn’t like people in general.”
