September 8th, 2009 - 1:03 pm ICT by ANILondon, Sep.8 (ANI): A teenage loner accused of plotting a Columbine-style gun massacre at his school also considered targeting Manchester City’s stadium.According to The Sun, Matthew Swift, 18, was said to have sent his idea in a computer message to 16-year-old co- accused Ross McKnight.A jury at Manchester Crown Court heard how he told McKnight: “I was thinking of targets to attack - like the City stadium.”
Both teens allegedly plotted a killing spree at Audenshaw High School, Manchester, on the tenth anniversary of the Columbine massacre.Swift also wrote in a diary: “I cannot wait for Judgment Day. It is going to be awesome.” The friends deny conspiracy to murder and to cause explosions.
The trial continues. (ANI)
