Barberton High Schoolers Charged In Violent Plot

Four Barberton High School students are facing multiple charges for allegedly plotting violence in the building. Police arrested a 15-year-old boy for carrying knives into the school building. And a police spokesperson says three other students, ages 13, 16 and 18, agreed to help rather than try to stop the alleged plot to take over the high school and carry out multiple acts of violence.

The students are being held in juvenile detention.
