A teen from Oregon was charged with attempted murder this past week after he planned an attempt to bomb his high school.
Grant Acord, 17 years old, has been sent to a juvenile jail after it was discovered by the police that he was making a bomb and plotting to blow up his school, West Albany High School.
According to the Associated Press, Acord faces six charges of manufacturing and possessing a destructive device since authorities found 6 bombs in a part of his bedroom that was kept secret.
According to Benton County District Attorney John Haroldson the teens plans were seriously mapped out:
He said Acord had written plans, a checklist and a specific timeline for the attack. The bombs investigators found included pipe bombs, Molotov cocktails, a Drano bomb and a napalm bomb, Haroldson said.
Police found no bombs during a search of the high school.
Fortunately, no one was hurt in the potential incident, and the bombs have been obtained and controlled.
We’re glad that this situation was stopped before anyone was hurt.
