Two sixth-graders in Tennessee have been charged with conspiracy to commit murder after a school resource officer learned of a rumored plot where the students allegedly planned to carry out a shooting at their elementary school in Crossville.
Upon learning of the threat,"immediate steps were taken" to guarantee the safety of students, via a recently formed threat-assessment task force. While no hit list or weapons were found when authorities searched the students' homes. However, conversations between the two sixth-graders where they worked to prepare their plan were discovered. The search also led investigators to a hand-drawn map of South Cumberland Elementary and details of the plot the two students had crafted, police said.
The students also planned to kill themselves before law enforcement could apprehend them, the joint statement said.
OMG. What is happening to this Country?
