Chesterfield High School:Bombing Plot Thwarted

Chesterfield High School is in a little town in northeast South Carolina. A student at the school, Ryan Schallenberger, was planning to bomb the high school with enough ammonium nitrate to level most of the school. He had ten pounds delivered to his house, which his parents found along with his journal luckily! If his parents had not turned him this could have been the worst school tragedy in history. The local rumor is more then just one person was involved in this plot. This student is rumored to be a better candidate then Schallenberger for such a plot, in terms of he was not top in his class and may have had some problems. I have heard this person has not been located yet and has been missing for a couple days.



I am from Cheraw and am very familiar with Chesterfield, because the two towns are only about 15 miles apart. This is especially scary for me because my little brother is in high school still and has friends that go to chesterfield high. I think the Chesterfield county law enforcement has done a good job handling this situation. There are a bunch of good people in this counties law enforcement agency, but I hope this makes them turn more attention to things like this, instead of petty things most teenagers get into at one time or another. If the parents had not have turned their son in, today could have been a lot worse.
