A Washington state middle school boy was arrested
Wednesday and faces an attempted murder charge,
after he brought 400 rounds of ammunition, multiple
knives and a handgun to his school, police said.
The 11-year-old was booked into a juvenile detention
facility after the incident that caused the lockdown of
Frontier Middle School, Vancouver Police said.
The school, in Vancouver, Washington, was locked
down for about two hours. Parents received letters
alerting them of the situation, said Kris Fay, a
spokeswoman for the Evergreen School District.
There were no injuries. Police did not say who was
allegedly being targeted.
This incident comes on the heels of several school-
related violent incidents around the nation.
On Monday, a math teacher was killed and two
students wounded by a boy who then killed himself
in a Nevada school.
On Wednesday, a math teacher was found dead the
woods northeast of Boston, and her 14-year-old
student is accused of killing her.
