Bulgaria: Toddler Shot in the Head, Fighting for Life at Pirogov Hospital
A devastating incident unfolded this afternoon near Vratsa, Bulgaria, where a one-and-a-half-year-old child was shot in the head under unknown circumstances
Authorities in Arizona, with the help of the police in Canada's Toronto, have arrested a 16-year-old high school girl who they say was plotting to shoot her classmates and then kill herself.
The girl, who lives in Mesa, Ariz., about 32 kilometres east of Phoenix, is accused of posting a threat on a YouTube channel, saying, "I now literally have a plan of seriously hurting ... killing ... murdering people in my high school."
The YouTube channel is owned by a transgender community in Toronto, which notified Toronto police, CBS reported.
They tracked the poster to Arizona and contacted the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office Wednesday night.
Detectives visited the girl's family home, where she admitted in front of her parents to posting the threat.
Police seized two computers and also found three handguns in the home. The weapons were released to the girl's father for safe-keeping.
The girl faces one count of computer tampering and one count of threatening and intimidating.
In the YouTube post, the girl alludes to the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Newtown, Conn., saying that she had planned her attack well before last week's deadly shooting.
The girl, who also serves as a student teacher at Mesa's Red Mountain High School, wrote in the post, "I WORK at the high school as a student teacher basically ... which is why no one can find out about me somewhat accidentally planning to blow up the school. (and yes...it would be super easy...)."
The girl's parents told police that she has a history of mental health issues and had been seen by a psychiatrist. She had recently been asking where the guns were being kept in the house, they said.
Police said the girl admitted she was afraid she would really carry out the plans detailed in the post. She told them she had thought about killing for a while and planned to "cut the wires to the security carts" on campus to slow down response time during an explosion, and to shoot people from the other side of a fence.
