Tampa, FL
Cell phone video just released by prosecutors offers a chilling view into the mind of a Florida teenager who in 2011 was charged with plotting to kill teachers and students with bombs at his Tampa high school.
Jared Cano, then 17, wrote a manifesto that detailed his plans for an attack in August 2011 on the first day of classes at Freedom High School in Tampa, Fla., from which he had been expelled in March 2010. Police arrived at the home where Cano lives with his mother to arrest him. In his home police recovered bomb-making material, including fuses, timers, shrapnel, accelerant and plastic tubing.
In the recently released video, Cano outlines to the minute his plans to blow up Freedom High School.
"For those of you retards who don't know who I am, I'm the Freedom High School shooter in Tampa, Florida. Well I will be in a couple months," Cano says on the video. "My plan is to set a bomb here at point A, here at point B, point C and point D. Then I got to get to the side entrance of the school by 7:24. The bombs blow at 7:26."
Cano never got the chance to go through with his deadly plan, because a friend tipped off police and he was arrested. In addition to the bomb-making materials at his home, investigators found a manifesto and illustrations detailing his plans.

Copley Students Accused of Making Violent Threats
Copley, OH
Two Copley High School students are facing suspension for allegedly making threats of violence on Facebook, the Copley Police Department confirmed.
Chief Michael Mier tells Fox 8 News that classmates of the accused students reported them to school officials Friday morning. They were questioned once they arrived at school.

According to a news release from the CPD, the two students engaged in a threatening conversation on Facebook Thursday night. It started when one of the students posted a picture of a firearm and claimed it was real.
The two then discussed the weapon — which turned out to be a toy gun — and began to talk about “killing students, detonating a bomb and planting an explosive device at a school event,” the release said.
Mier says they also directed threats at certain members of the high school marching band. Once the duo realized their threats could be taken seriously, they indicated that they had no intention of carrying them out.

Teen Detained for Facebook Threats toward School
Greenwood, IN
A Center Grove High School freshman was detained by police on Wednesday after threats were discovered on Facebook, according to a Johnson County Sheriff’s Office report.
Police were alerted when another person saw the post on Facebook. The 15-year-old boy reportedly posted expletives directed at the school, teachers and one teacher in particular. It was followed by a post that read, “Something bad is gonna happen tomorrow.”
The boy told police he had been in trouble in school that day for putting his head down on a desk. He said he wanted to make people think he would bring a gun or bomb to school, but that he didn’t intend to do anything.
Police took the boy to the detention center for 12 hours.
Another boy was interviewed because of a comment on the Facebook post about a gun, but the boy said he was joking and presumed the other boy was as well. He was released to his parents, but deputies detained a rifle from the home while the incident was being investigated.
