AP September 15, 2006 GREEN BAY, Wis. - Two 17-year-olds suspected of plotting a shooting- spree at their high school were obsessed with the mass killings at Columbine High School and had homemade bombs and weapons at their homes, investigators said Friday. The boys were arrested Thursday at East High School after a student went to an associate principal. "If someone hadn't come forward, we'd be talking about funerals instead of charges," said Brown County District Attorney John Zakowski. William C. Cornell and Shawn R. Sturtz were arrested for suspicion of conspiracy to commit first-degree intentional homocide and conspiracy to commit arson. They were expected in court later Friday for a bond hearing. Police found nine rifles and shotguns, a handgun, about 20 "crudely made" explosive devices, camouflage clothing, gas masks, two-way radios and hundreds of rounds of ammunition at Cornell's house, Police Capt. Lisa Sterr said. She said Cornell had made several of the improvised explosive devices about two months ago. At Sturtz's home, police found knives and ammunition, Sterr said. Police said they also found mannequin heads that appeared to have been used for target practice, and suicide notes. Hotwater
Oh what wondeful fun kids have these days. "Hey lets go shoot up a school" "oh okay" To bad its happening.
the reason why kids are obsessed with columbine and want to emulate it, is because of all the media attention it got, not only that, but hollywood got a hold of it, and still people talk about it.....
Very true Close call though, these Trenchcoat Mafia wannabe's were locked and loaded and ready to Rock n Roll Hotwater
and now with the attention that one is getting, for not even shooting anyone, I can see where kids will keep emulating it. its like the attention they never got.
