I'm sure Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are laughing in hell right now... Looks like we've allowed them to continue their path of destruction. When are we going to learn as parents? Pay attention to your teens, be interactive, engage yourself in their lives. I don't have any or all of the answers, but this is something that needs to be addressed in every family in every city. This can't be ignored and just say, "That happens to someone else"...because it may very well be your child, or your loved one...or maybe even your child will be the killer.
You know what the scary thing is? This kid seems to enjoy telling the police all the details of what he planned.
The News Tribune
A 16-year-old Rogers High School student, armed with his stepfather’s guns, planned to shoot students and then kill himself Wednesday at the school, according to Pierce County court documents released today.
Sheriff’s investigators learned of the boy’s alleged plan Saturday from school officials who’d been told he outlined his plans in an instant message conversation with a friend, court documents state. According to documents, the boy wrote that he wanted “to finally go out in a blaze of hatred and fury … to wrongly hurt others for my own sick pleasure before ending it for myself.”
Investigators found two rifles, two handguns, ammunition, a homemade bomb and a copy of The Anarchist Cookbook, which includes directions to make explosives, Troyer said.
The boy and his parents were cooperative during the search, which also yielded several computers, he said. The boy told investigators that after his stepfather went to work Wednesday he planned to steal his .22 caliber rifle and handgun “because it was easy to conceal,” documents state.
He figured it would take about 30 minutes to walk home from school, load the guns and then walk back. Armed at the school, he planned “to take people out and save the last round for himself,” court documents state.
The boy told investigators he’d made the bomb, but that it didn’t have a fuse and he did not plan to use it. He was just curious if he could make it and if it would work, the documents state. “It’s, of course, very troubling to us that we had a student of ours pose these kinds of threats,” said Karen Hansen, spokeswoman for the Puyallup School District. “We are extremely grateful that upon learning the plot that our student called administration immediately so that we could notify law enforcement.”

He wrote also: “I have the whole plan. I want to die and I will … But, I want to be hated when I leave.”
