The pair were charged with multiple counts of conspiracy to commit murder as part of a plot to bomb their high school.
Two Georgia teens who were accused of plotting to firebomb their school in 2017 pleaded guilty on Friday.
The pair were both students at the school targeted in their attack plans, Etowah High, in Woodstock — a town of around 25,000 people 30 miles north of Atlanta. “We prevented something from happening,” Cherokee County Sheriff Frank Reynolds said after the students’ plot was revealed. “We saved potential lives.”
“McCurley was the victim of bullying and neglect,” the paper wrote, describing the beliefs of a family member. “Her dark social media posts were cries for help and her plans to hurt others were a mask for her desire to hurt herself.” At Friday’s hearing, McCurley admitted telling officers investigating the case that she’d “like to get our numbers up higher than Las Vegas,” a reference to the October 2017 shooting on the Las Vegas Strip that took 58 lives, the deadliest single mass shooting in American history.
