3 Texas high school seniors arrested after allegedly planning school shooting
TAYLOR, Texas – Three Taylor High School students were arrested Wednesday after they allegedly discussed plans in class about committing a school shooting, according to police.
Police arrested Devant Davis-Brooks, 17, Kadin Watson, 17, and Emmanuel Pina Tejas, 17, on charges of terroristic threat after several students overheard a conversation that the three seniors were discussing detailed plans to coordinate an active shooting at the school involving explosives and firearms. Officials said the conversation took place during class and one student reported it.
“(The student) heard them talking about planning a school shooting and a bombing," said Taylor ISD Superintendent Keith Brown. "There are no joking matters when it comes to school safety now, nothing about shooting up a school or blowing up a school is funny.”
