Two students were arrested on Thursday after they were found to have made a hit list of Kingman High School students to shoot.
According to the Mohave County Sheriff’s Office, on Wednesday, deputies received a report of multiple students that were plotting a shooting at Kingman High School. Deputies initially responded and began identifying and talking with individuals reportedly involved. This investigation went into the late evening hours and some of the students were unable to be contacted.
On Thursday, detectives identified two students, a fourteen and fifteen year old female, that were found to have been plotting the shooting. The two students were immediately suspended from school.
The investigation revealed that the two students had relationship issues and stated they had been bullied by some of the students, to which they had intended on fatally wounding. The two students had comprised a list of students in which they intended to cause harm to. The list was later recovered from one of the students and had the names of fourteen students in which they intended to target. The parents of those students on the list were immediately contacted and advised of the threat.
The two students were both charged with Making a Terrorist Threat, a class 3 felony, and booked into the Mohave County Juvenile Detention Facility.
