TEEN BROTHERS ARRESTED IN SCHOOL SHOOTING PLOT

Two brothers aged 15 and 16 are being charged in an apparent plot to target at least one individual at the Ripley, West Virginia Middle School. The 16-year-old brother obtained the gun after stealing it in a home break-in last weekend. The gun wound up in the hands of his 15-year-old brother who had it in his backpack, with plans to shoot somebody yesterday. The 15-year-old had brandished the gun on the school bus, but another student grabbed the magazine of the .22-calibre gun, and gave it to the school bus driver. The driver evacuated students from the bus. Deputies took the 15-year-old into custody. Both are now facing charges in the juvenile court system.
