Six Bombs Found In Oregon Teen’s Bedroom, Planned Attack On High School Inspired By 1999 Columbine Shootings

Six bombs were found in the bedroom of 17-year-old Grant Acord in Albany, Oregon. The teen was arrested for plotting to blow up his high school in an attack inspired and modeled after the 1999 Columbine shootings.

CNN reports that Acord planned to surpass the shootings at Colorado's Columbine High School, Benton County District Attorney John Haroldson said.

Acord's "goal was to model the Columbine shootings with some adjustments that would make it a greater success," Haroldson said.

Police received a tip on Thursday that Acord was making a bomb to blow up West Albany High School, The Inquisitr reports. Police found six types of explosives in a secret compartment under the floorboards of Acord's bedroom in his mother's house.

According to CNN, they found napalm, pipe and drain cleaner bombs, and Molotov cocktails in the compartment.

They also found written plans, checklists, and diagrams, which revealed a specific timeline and date of Acord's planned attack. The timeline will not be released to the public until after the weekend.

Acord will be charged as an adult and faces six counts of manufacturing and possessing a destructive device, NBC reports.

Sniffer dogs searched the Oregon high school over the weekend but found no explosives.

"I can't say enough about how lucky we are that there was an intervention," the district attorney said, AP reports. "When I look at the evidence in the case, I shudder to think of what could have happened here."
