3 Middle School Students Charged With Conspiracy To Commit Murder
3 Middle School Students Charged With Conspiracy To Commit Murder Investigators said they first learned of the alleged plot March 5. They said 13-year-old Austin Mohr sent threatening messages through his MySpace.com page, where he was pretending to be a 19-year-old. Investigators said Mohr's anger was directed at two particular students, but also made general threats to lock the cafeteria during lunch and shoot everyone. "Everyone will pay for what they did to me," wrote Mohr, according to investigators, who claimed he was being teased and picked on at school. "They will all die along with me." Mohr sent instant messages to another teen stating, "I will kill every person I see … The massacre will happen soon." A teen who received the messages sent them to a family member. That family member contacted the sheriff's office, who then began an investigation to uncover who was responsible for the messages.
