A 14-year-old student at Midwood High School was arrested for planning a "Drano bomb" attack. The teen was overheard telling someone about his plans, so another student told a teacher and then the school's police officer got involved. Newsday reports that police found "Liquid Plumber, three types of deodorant, balloons and instructions detailing how to make a chemical reaction device" inside his backpack.

The teen, whose case was referred to Family Court because he's a juvenile, was charged with criminal possession of a weapon and reckless endangerment. more ›
