TL;DR Summary

Zach Swallen's 15-year-old son, Boom, is being hailed as a hero for providing a tip that helped thwart a potential mass shooting at Mariemont High School, despite being threatened directly by the alleged perpetrator. The 14-year-old suspect, who had a detailed plan and access to firearms, has been arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit aggravated murder. Boom's bravery has been recognized with a National Student Hero Award, and his father hopes the incident will encourage others to reach out and help if they see a fellow student in distress.
