A 17-year-old Washington teen has been arrested after his mother found plans for a high school massacre in his journal.

The mother, who goes by Nicole, says her son was planning to use guns and pipebombs to “blast everyone in sight” – and planned the attack for April 20, 2020, which is the 20th anniversary of Columbine.

The teen claimed the journal was “just a story”, but authorities say the plans go “beyond creative writing”. His mother says she struggled with the decision to turn her son in and feels “like I’ve done something wrong”.
