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. Portland Police identified the substances as hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen cyanide, which is a constituent of the M44 aka the “cyanide bomb.” The student reportedly passed out at the scene after inhaling the gases he created.
