NBC 10, Philadelphia, is reporting that a 17-year-old girl was arrested on Monday after she wrote a detailed plan for a Columbine-style massacre.
NBC 10 reports that the Radnor High School senior “wrote in her notebook that she wanted to be the first female mass murderer, and specifically described how she would kill several students and one of her teachers.”
She also allegedly wrote about how much she admired Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, the students behind the 1999 Columbine High School massacre.
“But imagine the power,” the girl allegedly wrote. “The bullets leaving the gun with a loud bang, piercing kids around me, the way they collapse, their blood splattering the floor… the screams.”
School officials found the girl’s notebook on Monday and reported it to police.
Radnor Township Police Superintendent Bill Colarulo held a press conference on Monday, stating:
There are always warning signs. If you want to go back and reference the Columbine incident, there were numerous warning signs that went ignored, that went unnoticed and nobody took the proper action and made the report.
According to NBC 10, “The girl was arrested and will be charged as a juvenile for making terroristic threats. According to investigators, the girl has a history of mental illness. Her parents are cooperating with police. No weapons were found at Radnor High or the teen’s home.”
