Gun-Obsessed Teens Plotted Violent ‘Rebellion’ at Pennsylvania High School, Police Say
‘I HATE THIS SCHOOL’
Authorities say the students were planning a school shooting. Cops found four AR-15-style rifles and a shotgun at one of their homes.
An alleged school shooting plot hatched by two Pennsylvania teens who had access to guns was narrowly averted after an “alarmed parent” contacted the school principal, local authorities said.
The duo, Logan Jack Pringle, 17, and Preston Robert Hinebaugh, 16, were in the “planning phase” of the attack, according to police, and now face charges of conspiracy to commit terrorism and conspiracy to commit aggravated assault. Hinebaugh is also charged with one count of conspiracy to commit criminal trespass and possession of a firearm by a minor.
Pringle and Hinebaugh will be tried as adults, the Cambria County District Attorney’s Office confirmed to The Daily Beast. Their arrests follow a recent school shooting in Michigan that left four students dead and seven injured, including a teacher. Last week, police in Florida arrested a student allegedly preparing an attack at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University just hours before he reportedly planned to pull it off.
