Police: No guns at home of arrested Spokane teen

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Spokane police say they found no guns or school maps in the home of a teen accused of plotting a school shooting.

The Spokesman-Review (http://is.gd/wywy55) reports the 16-year-old was allowed to leave juvenile detention on Wednesday. But he must be supervised by his parents at all time and is banned from any school property in Spokane County under a judge’s order.

When they searched his home, police found papers with gang graffiti and talk of shootings, as well as drawings of guns and shooting scenes.

He was arrested Tuesday as the result of graffiti and a reported conversation among students that referred to a “Columbine style shooting” to occur at North Central High School.

This Friday is the 13th anniversary of the 1999 Columbine High School shootings in Littleton, Colo., in which two Columbine students killed 13 people and then themselves.
