Authorities weigh danger posed by Colorado teen charged with threatening to 'shoot and bomb' school

DENVER — The 14-year-old boy accused of threatening a shooting at Casey Middle School in Boulder will stay in custody at least until next week while authorities evaluate how much of a threat he poses to others, a Boulder County judge ruled Tuesday.

The teenager had threatened to “shoot and bomb” his school, Deputy District Attorney Brad Turner said in court Tuesday. The boy had done research on carrying out such a plot, had gory videos, bomb-making instructions and a photo of a person with an AR-15 rifle, Turner said.

He also had a history of complaints about aggressive and inappropriate behavior at his previous middle school, The Denver Post has found.
