Bullied teenager compiled guns and a list of people to kill at his school....

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (AP) — Authorities have detained an Idaho junior high school student who compiled a list of students and police officers they believe he was planning to kill.

Rigby Police Chief Keith Hammon says the boy's parents called police Monday when they found the list on an electronic tablet.

The Post Register reports (http://bit.ly/XbTcRB ) officers found a bag of weapons at the boy's home, including multiple knives, handguns and ammunitions.

Hammon says bullying at the boy's school, Rigby Junior High, was a factor. The parents of the students on the list have been notified, and the police officers on the list were not identified.

Hammon didn't say how many people were targeted or how many weapons were in the bag.

These disturbed kids see all these big news stories about other kids going on shooting sprees and think that sounds like a good idea, and get inspired to copy cat it.
