Knife Found In School Backpack

POSTED: 3:59 p.m. EST December 9, 2003

LANCASTER, Pa. -- A 12-year-old boy is being evaluated after allegedly threatening to go on a killing spree at school Tuesday.

Pittsburgh police were alerted Monday night to a posting on the Web site www.horror.com.

The posting by Freddy Fan reads: "I really am. I'm going to kill my teacher tommorrow and a lot of other people in my school. I'll probably kill a lot of people."

Police contacted the Internet service provider and were able to locate the address of boy.

The West Earl Police Department in Leola searched the boy's residence and found a large knife in his school backpack. He was taken into custody at 7:15 a.m. Tuesday.

The boy's name and school he attends have not been released.
