(TheBlaze/AP) — An Oklahoma high school student is in custody on charges he plotted to bomb and shoot students at the Bartlesville High School auditorium on the same day 26 people were shot and killed at an elementary school in Connecticut.

Police arrested 18-year-old Sammie Eaglebear Chavez at about 4:30 a.m. Friday after learning of the alleged plot Thursday.

An arrest affidavit says Chavez tried to convince other students to help him lure students into the auditorium, chain the doors shut and start shooting. The Tulsa World reports that authorities say Chavez threatened to kill students who didn’t help.

“He also told them that if the students assisting him did not do what they were supposed to do, he would not hesitate to kill them and/or himself,” the newspaper quoted the police affidavit.

Multiple local news outlets, and the New York Daily News, are supplying this photograph of the suspect:

The Bartlesville Examiner-Enterprise adds that Chavez planned to detonate bombs at the doors as police arrived, to kill police in addition to people at the school.

Reuters continues:

The police affidavit said Chavez had used a school computer to research guns, pipe bombs and the 1999 Columbine High School massacre in which 12 students and a teacher were killed in Littleton, Colorado. It also said he had told a teacher last week that he had bought a Colt .45 gun, though it was unclear whether he actually had one.

The school district says students were never in danger, since the alleged plot was discovered in time.

Chavez is being held on $1 million bond.

      I have to wonder, is there some site that these degenerates all go to and get their walking orders from…who? Soros? Odumbo? I remember reading (perhaps on here?) about some analyst who predicted there would be a rash of lone gunmen on soft targets (schools, malls, etc.). Guess his prediction has come true.

    I posted the following on another article here on The Blaze (the one where hollywood celebs were tweeting about gun control) I think it applies to your post:

    Look at all the kids and adults (that includes you and me) who would rather text, fb, e-mail, each other than talk face to face or even on the phone (voice to voice). What has happened to society is a disfunction in human interaction. Everyone is now just letters typed into whatever new gadget you or I have. When we can no longer have human contact, we become detachted from human feeling for those around us. When you use electronic devices to communicate, you do not see facial expression, or hear vocal expression. There is no human interaction. Therefore, we do not see others as humans. We only see ourselves as what is important, which is what we the individual sees as the most important, Me, the individual. This could be classified as being sociopathic. Humans were meant to interact physically with one another. We no longer have that. Just think about it (you’ll get it).

      I can’t believe what I’m reading here from you two and others lately. I know that emotions are running high, but everyone needs to just stop and think about what thay are saying. Certainly if a person is a danger to themselves or others then they should definitely be institutionalized, but in no way should we start euthanizing people. Mental illness is a disease not a crime punishable by death, and it is way past time that we as a society began taking it seriously. If we start doing what you two are claiming we should be doing then we are finished as a free nation and will devolve into nazi Germany in no time.

    Children killing is a direct result of God being chased our of our homes, schools, government. Un-churched parents giving birth to God-less children. These kids are totally unequipped to deal with the evil pounding our culture today, so they yield to it, never knowing the way of salvation. The churches today have yielded to PC crap and no longer teach Biblical doctrines. Christians know the answer to the problems of this world – the non-Christian does not.

      In his 1907 Cambridge dissertation on the complaints directed against young people in ancient times, Kenneth John Freeman wrote:

      “Children began to be the tyrants, not the slaves, of their households. They no longer rose from their seats when an elder entered the room; they contradicted their parents, chattered before company, gobbled up the dainties at table, and committed various offences against Hellenic tastes, such as crossing their legs. They tyrannised over the paidagogoi and schoolmasters.”

      Some of Freeman’s thesis has been excerpted and wrongly attributed as a quote from either Plato or Socrates.

    I AGREE. I remember when I was a kid, my Mom saying “Shame on you” was enough to make me think twice about doing something wrong. I had to ponder how other people thought of me. There is no such thing as SHAME anymore. Just do anything you want to do.Who cares what others think. Also, a swat on the **** also made me do some thinking. When kids see their so-called idols, sports, rappers or whomever, getting away with almost anything & still being idolized, then why can’t they do it? You can’t even chastise your kids in public or you’ll get arrested for child abuse. All the so-called political correctness doesn’t hell either. I’m so frustrated. Oh, another thought – Everything is someone else’s fault!!

      I agree wholeheartedly! You are no longer allowed to discipline your kids today unless you use the “romper room” technique. I sure did discipline my daughter when she was growing up. Both verbally and physically! Well guess what? She grew up to be a wonderful law abiding citizen and a fantastic Mom. She supports herself and 2 kids on her paycheck alone! (She has a deadbeat ex-husband) NO GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE! It’s a struggle for her but she has more class than to ask for a hand out. She accepts the fact that she can only have what she can afford and that typically means the bare necessities! I love her and respect her! Oh, and she doesn’t hate me for disciplining her as a child. Amazing, huh?

      Ya, I’ll go with the death penalty. But let’s have some forensic psychology & try to nip the problem in the bud too.

      Some people will do evil things not because they have solvable problems but because they are evil. Psychology, religion &7 people just being decent to one another will help use prevent the latter from wanting to do something evil. For the former the DP will help in some but not all cases.
