Oregon teen charged with attempted murder after cafeteria chemical attack. Then investigators see what he was posting online

A 15-year-old student at Benson Polytechnic High School in Oregon is facing serious charges of attempted murder and first-degree domestic terrorism after mixing dangerous chemicals in the school cafeteria, as reported by Web Center Fairbanks.

The incident occurred on September 8, when the teenager brought common household chemicals from his home and combined them, creating a toxic environment that forced an evacuation of the school.
