Mother alerted police after finding out her son was planning an attack on a school in the United States

The mother of a teenager in a cleaning job found her son's diary, when she checked it, she discovered that the young man was detailing an attack plan against a school in Washington.

The young man, a high school student, constantly updated his diary with new strategies detailing the possible attack on his College Place High School. The expected date of the attack was April 20, 2020, the date that coincides with the anniversary of the 1999 shooting at Columbine High School, where a teacher and twelve students were killed.

The student was admitted to the Walla Walla Juvenile Justice Center, where he must answer for serious threats and harassment.

“It was not an easy thing to do, but it was the right thing to do. The mother wanted to prevent others from getting hurt and wants her son to get the help he needs (…) The mother was very emotional and loves her son” were the statements of Troy Tomaras, chief of the police.

Although it was a long-term plan, the authorities carried out a control at the school facilities and will also be present during the following days. In addition, some friends of the young man will be investigated.

The 17-year-old does not present any type of judicial notice or legal problem, which will help him not to extend the sentence. However, the judicial fate of the minor will be known in the coming days.
