A bomb, placed in a trash can next to the gate near the cafeteria, exploded during fourth hour lunch on Friday, November 5. School policy dictates that the student’s name be withheld from publication, but there were witnesses who were willing to relate what had happened.
Seniors Mallory and Melanie Koch were not expecting to aid the criminal’s endeavor when they spoke to the student responsible for the incident minutes before the bomb went off.
[Melanie] Koch said, “I was sitting there at lunch, and [this person] came up to me and asked me if [he/she] could have my almost empty water bottle. I said ‘sure, don’t do anything rash’, and [he/she] came back later with my water bottle, and said [he/she] didn’t do anything to it.
Then we saw [him/her] throw a water bottle filled with a blue liquid into a trash can. About two minutes later there was a giant boom and blue smoke was coming out of it.” She thought her statement to the culprit was ironic, considering what took place shortly after.
Nobody was harmed, but the student was eventually caught.
However, another explosive was set off during lunch on Wednesday, December 8, during fifth hour.
