NEW YORK, May 8 (UPI) -- Two Long Island, N.Y., teenagers were arrested for allegedly planning to bomb a school and shoot students, police say.
Suffolk County officials said the teenagers, Christopher Franko, 17, and Dana Saltzman, 16, allegedly planned to carry out the attack at Connetquot High School in Bohemia, N.Y., where Franko was formerly a student, on June 10, the New York Daily News reported.
The defendants allegedly spent weeks looking at bomb-making Web sites and were waiting for Franko to turn 18 so they could buy firearms, police said.
The boy's social worker alerted police the teens may have been planning an attack, Suffolk County Police Sgt. Bill Doherty told the Daily News.
Both teens pleaded not guilty at their arraignments, where they were charged as adults, police said.
