Three teenagers are in custody after police learned of their plot to shoot up their North Florida high school, which included curated target lists of students they wanted to kill and another to which they just “wanted to physically harm,” CNN reports.
Police said they collected text messages sent between the teens discussing targets and plans. One said that he would use an AR-15 assault rifle; it’s unclear if the students actually had access to the weapons they claimed. The teens, ages 14 and 15, attended Creekside High School in the St. John’s County School District. Police were tipped off to the plan by another student who the three warned, saying they were getting revenge for bullying.
