Two 14-year-old boys planned to kill pupils and teachers at their North Yorkshire school after developing an obsessive interest in the Columbine massacre, a court has heard. A jury at Leeds crown court was told the teenagers hero-worshipped the Columbine high school killers and planned a “re-enactment” in the quiet market town of Northallerton. Looking up the Columbine killers was a regular part of the older boy’s life, Greaney said. In one text exchange between the pair, the boy told his co-accused: “I can’t be bothered any more.” The older boy replied: “Why not take some others out as well? The older boy, however, denied everything and the pair were not arrested.
