BBC: "Two Texas teenage girls arrested for 'mass casualty attack' plot"

[DrLeftover]

Two teenage girls in the US state of Texas have been arrested for plotting a "mass casualty attack" with pipe bombs and guns, police say.

The girls, ages 15 and 16, were planning an attack at Memorial High School in a suburb of Houston, police told KHOU, an affiliate of the BBC's US partner CBS News.

The plot - which was shared on social media - was detailed enough that officials deemed it to be credible, CBS reported.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said its Threat Mitigation Team was involved in the response to help local police arrest the teenagers immediately.
"We are treating this matter with the utmost urgency and commitment, as threats of violence in our schools will not be tolerated," the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

If this is the direction that these two are headed, not much hope there.

Lock 'em up & throw away the key!

I'm honestly sick of all of these teens being inspired by the 2 Columbine shooters from the late 90's. It's gotten real old, real fast.

The article claims one of the girls was already being held on unrelated charges, so Im willing to bet she got into a fight with someone, they suspended her and she didnt like that too much.
