COLORADO (KRDO) — A 14-year-old student from Ohio is accused of making plans to commit a mass shooting at a Cincinnati high school. Colorado Springs Police confirm they’re now involved in the investigation.
According to WKRC Local 12 , the teen was arrested Wednesday and appeared in a juvenile court Thursday. The teen is charged with conspiracy to commit aggravated murder and prosecutors say the teen made a list of students and teachers to be killed.
According to Hamilton County Prosecutor Melissa Powers, the teen was helped by an “out-of-state co-conspirator” who appears to live in Colorado Springs.
WKRC Local 12 reported the “co-conspirator” is an adult between the ages of 22-24.
The Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) told KRDO13 they were asked to help the FBI in an operation Wednesday related to an incident in Cincinnati.
CSPD said the FBI came to them with a 719 phone number they believed belonged to an adult man connected to the investigation.
Colorado Springs Police did make contact with the adult man the FBI was looking for, but they will not share whether any arrests were made by their department or the FBI.
