Authorities in Tampa, Florida, have arrested a 17-year-old after discovering via a tip that he allegedly planned to set off explosives and kill dozens of students at his former high school, officials said Wednesday.

Police found explosive materials in Jared Cano's home, as well as a manifesto outlining a minute-by-minute plan detailing specific targets at Freedom High School, Tampa Police Chief Jane Castor said.

I'm not sure that his plot was realistic to carry out," Freedom High School Principal Chris Farkas said later Wednesday. But still, word of the planned attack left members of the school's community shaken and shocked, he told reporters.

Cano is charged with possessing bomb-making materials and threatening to throw, project, place or discharge a destructive device. He also faces drug charges.

The fact that a tipster led to the former student's arrest in Tampa shows the importance of schools nationwide building a relationship with their communities, said MaryEllen Elia, Hillsborough County Public Schools superintendent.

"Someone realized it was very important that they share this information and that they help us address this issue," she told CNN. "I think it's very important that we make sure that people are aware that this kind of situation could occur anywhere."

I live like a hour away from there :happycry: (orlando)

Stories like this fascinate me. It's almost like justice. Kids bully you, you kill them. They get what's coming (sort of). Moral of the story, don't bully.

I wonder why he wanted to do that ? Maybe it's because people bully him at school, and he wanted revenge

Woah... A little overboard eh? "Kill Dozens" sheesh.. :O

This is the kind of stuff that people need to come to reality with. That this type of stuff happens and that it happens in their own communities. (most of the time) thankfully he was stopped before anything devastating happened.

lollollollol

Maybe they bullied him there?

The funny thing is, I live 36 hours away from that:carling:
