Two Elementary Boys Will Stand Trial For Murder Conspiracy
Ft. Colville, WA
Two students, ten and an eleven year old, at Fort Colville Elementary were arrested after they brought a .45cal handgun with a full clip onto a school bus. Their intent was to use the handgun to keep anyone from interfering with their plan to rape and stab to death a female classmate.
They had written out a step-by-step plan. She was selected as the target because "she's rude and always made fun of me and my friends."
The eleven-year old told the police, "I was going to kill her with the knife and [10-year-old] was supposed to use the gun to keep anyone from trying to stop me or mess up our plan."
The prosecutor determined that the rape was not intended as a display of sexual desire, but as a means of displaying power.
A judge ruled that both boys were emotionally mature to understand what they were doing, and the case is proceeding to trial.

Threats of Gun Violence Force Closure of Skyline High School
Sammamish, WA
Threats of violence against students prompted Skyline High School officials to cancel school on Thursday.
In a notification released late Wednesday night, school officials said they were dealing with an "emergency situation" and asked students, staff and community members to stay away from the school on Thursday.
The King County sheriff's office is investigating an online post claiming to be from a Skyline student. In the post, which included a photo of a gun, the student says he's going to take his father's gun to school and "open fire on the people in the commons in the morning until I am either taken down by our school's police officer, or until I run out of mags."
The post was circulated around social media sites on Wednesday and was reported to police.
Deputies so far don't know who wrote the post or if it's a legitimate threat, according to King County sheriff's Sgt. Cindi West.

FBI Launches New Version of Child ID App for Android Phones to Mark National Missing Children’s Day
Washington, D.C.
Friday, May 25 marks National Missing Children’s Day in the United States. In honor of that observance, the FBI has released a new version of its popular Child ID App for Android mobile phones. The iPhone version of the app, launched in 2011, has already seen more than 121,000 downloads.
The FBI’s Child ID app is a free and easy-to-use option for parents who want to have immediate access to their children’s information should a child become lost. The app allows parents to create profiles for each child in the family and to take or import pictures of each child. The pictures can be updated as frequently as the parents wish to do so. This is a particularly handy feature if a family is traveling or will be in crowded areas such as amusement parks, large sporting events, or concerts. In the event that the child disappears, parents will be able to show law enforcement officers exactly how the child looked and what he or she was wearing on that day.
