McMinn High School students arrested for conspiracy to commit act of terrorism

Two students face charges after a possible planned attack on other McMinn High School students on Thursday, February 6.

Sheriff Joe Guy posted to Facebook that he received a phone call from a parent of one of the teens around 10:30pm that evening, who had “discovered something disturbing”.

“The parent was very concerned over a video recording he had discovered on a device belonging to his son,” said Sheriff Guy. “The recording was made in November by his son and another student, dressed in masks and making statements that implied their planning of a school-shooting type attack, and naming certain students as possible targets. The parent felt it was his duty to report it as soon as possible.”
