"Teen Hero Thwarts Credible School Shooting Plot: Inside the Mariemont HS Conspiracy"

A 15-year-old student, Boom Swallen, bravely reported a classmate's detailed plan to carry out a mass shooting at Ohio's Mariemont High School, despite being threatened with his life. The suspect, a 14-year-old identified as A.B., had a gun, a hit list, and intentions to harm students and staff. Thanks to Swallen's alert, police uncovered the credible plot, arrested the suspect, and charged him with conspiracy to commit aggravated murder. The thwarted shooter was found to be communicating with an adult to plan the attack. Prosecutors aim to try A.B. as an adult, emphasizing the seriousness of school violence threats. School officials expressed gratitude for the vigilance of the Swallen family and the swift response of law enforcement.
