ALABAMA (CNN) — An Alabama high school student is behind bars, accused of plotting and preparing for a terrorist attack against his school. A teacher at Russell County High School found Derek Shrout’s journal after class on Friday. When she looked inside, she found something much different from the writings of a typical teenager.
Police say 17-year-old Derek Shrout is a self-proclaimed white supremacist who wanted to commit hate crimes at Russell County High School with homemade explosives. Had his book of plans not been carelessly left where a teacher could find it, the sheriff says no one may have discovered the plot until it was too late.
“The journal contained several plans that looked like potential terrorist attacks, and attacks of violence and danger on the school. In particular, there were six students specifically named, and one teacher,”
After the teacher who found his journal notified authorities, police searched his home and found dozens of tobacco containers filled with shrapnel and holes drilled for fuses. Investigators say Shrout was a step away from turning them into live grenades.
