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.
