A Harrison High School student arrested earlier this month after police say he planned a massacre of classmates at a pep rally has been charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. The 17-year-old boy is accused of plotting with a 16-year-old girl to shoot as many students as possible in the gymnasium, with the boy attacking from the right side of the gym and the girl from the left. The two 11th-graders had blueprints of the south-central Colorado Springs school, and the boy had instructions for making pipe bombs, which they intended to set underneath bleachers, according to a 31-page police report.
Their goal, police said, was to kill more than the 32 killed by a gunman April 16 at Virginia Tech before he committed suicide.
The two were arrested several days before a pep rally that was to be attended by the entire student body. “It was chilling,” Colorado Springs school resource officer Brian Strickland said Monday of the details that emerged during his investigation. “There was no doubt something was in the planning stages.”
