Another Columbine-style attack stopped

"A high school student has been charged after he was found with a journal where he outlined a 'Columbine-style' attack on his school.
Sean Ivaldi, 18, was being held by police after jottings he made in his journal, including a points system for his kills, was discovered by a teacher.
The system he had scribbled down awarded 20 points for killing a student, 30 points for teachers, and 60 points for a police officer during the rampage he had allegedly planned at his school in Stoughton, Massachusetts.
Although the teenage boy did not possess any weapons, police believed he posed enough danger to arrest him for making terror threats.
He is currently being held without bail.
Police in Stoughton said the journal was written last summer when Ivaldi was 17.
As well as the kill list, there appeared to be details of how the massacre at Stoughton High School would be carried out and drawings of the premises.
The plan to carry out the massacre was found by a teacher who took the journal to the school's principal Matt Colantonio.
Ivaldi was removed from the school on April 13 but was not charged with any offence. He was later held by police who said there was enough evidence to warrant charges."
