Paw Paw school threat suspect to be treated as juvenile

From our media partner at WOOD TV:

PAW PAW, Mich. (WOOD) — A judge has ruled that a 15-year-old who allegedly planned to attack his school and then changed his mind will be designated as a juvenile rather than being tried as an adult.

The ruling came Wednesday after the second day of testimony in a hearing to decide the teen's status.

Authorities say the 15-year-old suspect, who 24 Hour News 8 is not naming because he is a juvenile, created a detailed plan to shoot and kill classmates and others at Paw Paw High School, where he was a student. They say he went as far as stealing shotguns from his grandfather and sawing them off so they could be concealed. Investigators also say he’d gathered ammunition and materials to make bombs and Molotov cocktails.
