Attempted massacre
On May 27, 2013, a junior who was attending the school was found with an arsenal of explosives under the floorboards of his bedrooms. The explosives included a Molotov cocktail, a napalm bomb, and Drano bombs. He supposedly wanted to make a more "successful version" of the Columbine High School massacre. He was charged with attempted aggravated murder and six counts each of unlawful possession and manufacture of a destructive device. He accepted a plea deal, with reduced charges of six counts of manufacture of a destructive device, and two counts of unlawful use of a weapon. He was sentenced to 10 years in the custody of the Oregon Youth Authority.
