Teenager Charged in Planned Attack
SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- A teenager accused of planning a Columbine-style attack on his northern Indiana high school was charged with a juvenile count of conspiracy to commit murder. Prosecutors filed a petition alleging delinquency against the 16-year-old Penn High School student. It is the juvenile equivalent of a criminal charge in adult court, where conspiracy to commit murder would be the most serious class of felony.
Barges on Mississippi Hit Two Bridges
DES MOINES -- Several fully loaded barges broke loose on the flood-swollen Mississippi River, struck two bridges and forced a halt to highway and railroad traffic. Three of the five barges that came loose hit the U.S. Route 34 bridge that connects Burlington, Iowa, and Gulfport, Ill., said Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. Tim Whalen. The landmark bridge, opened in 1993, is also known as the Great River Bridge.
