Michigan police have arrested three teens on charges that they were planning to shoot up two schools in their area.
Ryan Stevens, 18, and two 15-year-olds are being charged as adults after Argentine Township police investigated a report that the three boys were planning to conduct school shootings on Oct. 30, according to wsmh.com.
A school resource officer was made aware of the alleged plot on Oct. 28 after someone reported a suspicious post on Instagram. The police filed a 24-page report on their ensuing investigation and the teens were charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree premeditated murder and false report or threat of terrorism. More charges may be filed as the ongoing investigation has been turned over to the FBI.
