Murder foiled on MySpace
Courtesy of the Edmonton Sun:
"Five teenage boys accused of plotting to kill other students in a shooting rampage at their high school were arrested yesterday after details of the alleged scheme appeared on the website MySpace.com.
Sheriff's deputies found guns, ammunition, knives and coded messages in the bedroom of one of the suspects, Sheriff Steve Norman said. Norman said he would ask prosecutors to bring charges of conspiracy to commit murder against the young men, ages 16 to 18. He said officials at Riverton high school began investigating on Tuesday after learning that a threatening message had been posted on MySpace.com.
The message discussed the significance of April 20, which is Adolf Hitler's birthday and the anniversary of the 1999 Columbine high school attack in Colorado, in which two students killed 13 people and committed suicide, the sheriff said."

I think they obviously wanted to get caught, but still pretty fucking crazy!
