Oklahoma Teen Arrested in School Shooting Plot

Bartlesville, OK
A Bartlesville High School student is in custody on charges he plotted to bomb and shoot students at the campus auditorium.  This occurred on the same day that 28 people were shot and killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.

Sammie Eaglebear Chavez tried to convince other students to help him lure students into the auditorium, chain the doors shut and start shooting. Chavez threatened to kill students who didn't help.  He also planned to detonate bombs at the doors as police arrived.

Chavez was arrested 4:30 a.m. Friday after the police learned of the plot Thursday.
