A 14-year-old student at Mariemont High School in Cincinnati has been arrested for plotting a mass shooting, with an adult co-conspirator from out of state. The plot was foiled after another student overheard threats and reported it to the police. The community is coping with the aftermath, and there are discussions about trying the suspect as an adult, as well as considerations of his Asperger's Syndrome diagnosis. Faith leaders have organized a prayer event for the community, and experts caution against blaming the crime solely on the suspect's developmental disorder.
