Derek Shrout, a 17-year old boy, wrote in a journal that he planned to terrorize Russell County High School in Seale, Alabama. A teacher found the notebook and contacted authorities. Shrout is a ”self-proclaimed white supremacist” who had put together several homemade hand grenades in preparation for his attacks, according to authorities. When police searched his home, they allegedly found dozens of containers filled with shrapnel, drilled with holes for the fuses.
According to Russell County Sheriff Heath Taylor, the explosives were nearly ready to be exploded
“The first thing I wanted to know was if you did exactly what he
wrote, would it blow up? And everybody that I’ve consulted with has said
that it would absolutely blow up exactly the way he wrote it.”
The student identified six students that he allegedly planned to
attack. But when he was confronted about the notebooks, he said that it
as all fictional writing. Regardless, he is now being charged with
felony attempted assault.YNaija.com
