It seems that when this happens it's not in the major cities but in the quiet suburbs.... scary. 15 year old Richard Yanis will be charged as an adult for the Columbine-style attack he was planning on Pottstown High School in Pottstown, PA. Yanis was planning an attack for some time after the New Year, and had set his plan in motion back on November 11th, 2008. That's when he allegedly robbed his own house, breaking into his fathers secured gun case, and stole 3 guns - a 45mm, a 22mm and a 357 magnum with 300 rounds of ammo. He then gave the guns to a friend to hold on to with a plan to eventually hide the guns at the school. Yanis planned on retrieving the guns, killing the people he disliked by shooting up the school, and then killing himself. The friend won't face charges because he didn't know what the plans were , just that he was asked to hold on to the guns. Montgomery County DA Risa Ferman and Pottstown Borough Police Chief Mark Flanders are charging Yanis with attempted murder with a deadly weapon. It was the Pottstown police investigation in to the alleged robbery of the guns that led them to Yanis and his plot.
