Alabama Teen Planned School Killings

ARDMORE, Ala. (AP) - Police say a north Alabama high school student wrote out plans for a mass killing and tried to get others to provide weapons for the plot, which included burning a teacher alive. 
    Police in Ardmore acted on a tip to foil the plan.
    They met Monday with school officials to determine what to do next. 
    Authorities say a 16-year-old boy who attended Ardmore High School wrote notes and drew pictures about a mass killing.
    He allegedly compiled a list of students and teachers to kill. 
    The mother of another student alerted police after the youth allegedly tried to obtain weapons from her child. 
    Ardmore police arrested the 16-year-old on Friday, seizing five swords and a computer at his home.
    He was placed in juvenile detention.
