Teenager planned school massacre
p2pnet news | Crime:- With shootings and the suicide of the shooter at an Ohio school fresh in mind, police unearthed an incredible arsenal of a laser sited assault rifle, 30 air- and BB-guns, a 9 mm semi-automatic pistol and three hand grenades at the home of a 14-year-old in Pennsylvania.
And the boy’s parents apparently knew about them, leading to a felony gun plea and house arrest for the teen’s father, Frank E. Cossey, says the Philadelphia Daily News.
“Authorities now say Cossey’s son had been scheming to pull off a ‘Columbine-style’ attack on Plymouth-Whitemarsh High School,” say sthe story.
Lewis Bennett, also 14, warned the police because of the tragedy in Cleveland, Ohio, when a teenager shot and wounded two students and two teachers before killing himself.
“I didn’t want another kid to do the same thing and keep this chain of events going on,” the Philadelphia Daily News has Lewis saying. “I wanted to stop him.”
Police also found bomb making books, videos of the Columbine shooting, a “hate filled notebook and a copy of Hitler’s second book, the unpublished sequel to Mein Kampf,” says WFMZ.com, going on:
“The student is charged with solicitation to commit terror along with other counts. Because he is a minor state law prohibits is name from being given. Even though the student is only 14-years-old.. the D.A. is looking to try him as an adult.”
It was the teenager’s mother who’d, “purchased the semiautomatic two weeks ago at a gun show, with the intent to give it to him, authorities said,” says the Daily News.
“Prosecutors in Montgomery County are looking to see if she, too, can be charged.”
