Police Arrest 2 in Alleged School Shooting Plot
Belen, NM
A pair of teenagers is in custody after police foiled what they claim was a school shooting plot.
Investigators said Belen Middle School administrators learned about the threats on Monday.
Police said many students were afraid to come to school.
One student told police, seven teenaged boys were planning to come to school and shoot it up on Friday.
"We found out on Monday that some students that had been recently expelled from the school making threats they were going to shoot up the school this week," Chief Dan Robb said.
The investigation zeroed in on two eighth-grade boys -- a 13-year- old and a 14-year-old -- who had recently been kicked out of school.

Security Follows Mooresville HS Threat
Mooresville, IN
A bomb threat was discovered at Mooresville High School on Thursday.
The threat was found in a bathroom. It was a picture, drawn in pencil, of a bomb with Friday's date, Sept. 28, indicated.
School officials immediately called police and alerted parents, with a message that reads, in part, “The disruption of our educational day and a threat upon the safety of our students is a very serious matter. We will make every effort to keep our school community informed as more information becomes available.”
The Mooresville Police Department told 24-Hour News 8 bomb sniffing dogs searched several times inside the school overnight Thursday into Friday but turned up nothing.
Police are also reviewing security footage taken from several cameras inside the school.
If a student is responsible, Mooresville's Chief Communications Officer, Susan Haynes, said that student could face expulsion.
