Students Arrested After Planning Shooting on Columbine Anniversary
April 20, 2010 will be the eleventh anniversary of the Columbine attacks, an auspicious anniversary and one that, according to some posts on MySpace, was going to see another round of attacks. Three students at Arlington High School in Lagrangeville, N.Y. were arrested after making threatening posts on MySpace.com.
The students, all 15 or 16 years old, claimed to be planning an attack on the school and were discussing specific areas to target on the uber-popular social networking site. Given the two and a half year distance between now and the anniversary ,one has to wonder if they would have actually gone through with their plans, but the school superintendent didn't take any chances. She had the students arrested and the school was thoroughly searched for explosives.
So, potential nightmare averted -- thanks to MySpace.
