BENTON CITY — Authorities say they’re investigating an attempted murder plot involving several students at a southern Washington high school.
The Tri-City Herald reports that three 16-year-old students — two boys and a girl — had plotted to kill an 18-year-old classmate on Nov. 15.
The classmate, who was not hurt, was lured to the back of a market, where they had planned to kill him with a knife.
The Kiona-Benton City School District emergency expelled one boy and the girl the next day. The second boy’s involvement was discovered this week.
