We spoke with some students Friday..... and many of them wondered if there more than just two students involved in this plot.
Sohpmore Peter Froelich said "Now I'm thinking maybe there is more and there could be more than 3 or 4, 5 guys involved."
Maryanna Froelich said "I was a little bit surprised. I was hoping that it was only two kids, but that seems kind of idealistic too when you think about only two kids, there's an awful lot of ammunition and whatever things they have compiled for just two kids."
