Officials thwart possible attack on school

(3/02/06 - KTRK/CHANNELVIEW, TX) - Bomb sniffing dogs were taken to Channelview High School in east Harris County after a student was found with what might be plans for a Columbine-like attack on the school. Precinct 3 constable deputies were trying to solve a theft, but they came across something else.

Deputies were called to the school Thursday afternoon to arrest a student. The 16-year-old boy was suspected of stealing a camera that belonged to the school. Deputies removed the boy from his classroom and brought him to the principal's office. Investigators then began searching his backpack.

Inside the backpack, according to investigators, they found a detailed map of the school. They say the map read, "Channelview High School -- the new Columbine."

There was also a list of equipment including bulletproof vests and gas masks. Detectives say the suspect told them he had read a book over the weekend that gave him the idea.

What the boy may have planned to do is still unknown. We do not know if any other students were involved.

Stephanie Schraeder, Channelview ISD spokesperson, said, "There was information that led us to believe there was a possibility of a bomb in that student's locker. Bomb-sniffing dogs were on campus. That student's locker was searched. We have found no such items, no contraband. The campus is believed to be safe for students. The investigation is still ongoing at this time."

The suspect is being questioned by Harris County Sheriff's detectives. He has not been charged with a crime at this time, but could possibly be charged with making terroristic threats.

I remember when some little ***** made a threat against my sister's high school using MySpace. That only added to my hatred of that abyssmal excuse for a website.
