Residents of the eastern Washington state town of Colville are stunned after police announced they had uncovered a murder plot by two fifth-grade boys, the Newser website reports today (February 16, 2013).
The boys brought a .45-caliber Remington 1911 semiautomatic handgun and a knife to school, intending to kill a classmate, "because she was really annoying," say school officials.
The incident occurred on the morning of February 7 when a fourth-grade student told a teacher he had seen an older student with a knife. The teacher searched the fifth-graders' bags and found the weapons.
A hearing to determine whether the boys had the capacity to commit a crime is scheduled for February 20.
