Two teenage boys were arrested Friday and accused of threatening to launch a Columbine-style attack at St. Martin de Porres Catholic High School. They will be arraigned at 10 a.m. today in Cuyahoga County Juvenile Court.
Authorities said the boys, both 16, had planned the attack to coincide with the anniversary of the Oct. 10 SuccessTech Academy shootings.
They have been charged with inducing panic. One boy was also charged with possession of criminal tools after police searched the boy's West Side home and found 24 bottles with cloth wicks that might have been the makings of crude bombs, said Lt. Thomas Stacho, a Cleveland police spokesman.
Neither boy had a record for juvenile delinquency, said Pattie Oakar, a spokeswoman for the Juvenile Court. One boy attends James Ford Rhodes High School, while the other is enrolled at a private school, she said.
One boy was arrested at his home, and the other turned himself in to authorities. Both boys are in the county Juvenile Detention Center.
