Transcripts
and two colville fifth graders at the
center of a frightening murder plot
today we got a startling look at just
how close calville came to an on-campus
shooting a 10 and 11-year-old boy face
murder conspiracy charges for their
alleged plot to kill fellow elementary
school students kxly 4's jeff humphrey
was in stephens county superior court
today jeff prosecutors asked that
despite these boy's age they be held
responsible for their actions all day
long a judge up there has been trying to
decide whether or not these boys 10 11
years old knew the difference between
right and wrong when they allegedly
hatched a murder plot for their school
however the fact that the they were
ready to pay up to 80 dollars to another
student to keep their plan a secret
shows a lot about what they knew in
advance
they are still too young for us to
identify but prosecutors say this pair
of fifth graders came up with a very
grown-up plan to get a gun in school in
the hopes of killing a classmate he said
he was supposed to use the gun to keep
everyone away
well
and he said at that point
he said he was going to kill her a
fellow student tipped off counselors
about the alleged murder plot a search
of one of the defendant's backpacks in
his classroom turned up a knife as well
richard had tracked down the knife and
in the process of tracking down the
knife he had found this and he pulled
out the gun and showed me and i was very
shocked today in court we learned one of
the boys had already been suspended from
fort colville elementary for bringing
liquor on campus and stealing musical
instruments from his school prosecutors
say the fifth graders planned to rape
and kill a girl who had been mocking
them on their school bus and then i
asked him about the gun where he got the
gun he said he had stolen that from his
brother's room
and his brother had stolen it from his
grandfather other testimony revealed the
killing was supposed to happen the same
day the gun was discovered but a quick
thinking ten-year-old told counselors
who found the gun before it was too late
both had explained to me that they'd
been planning this for two weeks prior
to that date and that on the date that
we'd made contact and interviewed these
students it was going to happen that day
now more often than not these juvenile
court proceedings are all about helping
young people recognize and then recover
from their mistakes but in this case the
prosecutor is focused on conviction and
punishment to help to protect the public
for the young men that he finds
surprisingly dangerous wow jeff now we
heard a lot from people today what's
next in these proceedings well as we
left the courtroom today the judge was
about to hear from two different mental
health experts they're going to testify
about the maturity level of these two
particular boys whether or not they were
suffering from a mental health defect
and so the testimony was running long
today but we do expect the judge to make
a ruling today because of custodial
issues involving the mcboys and we'll
try to have that information for you
come up tonight at 6. all right thank
you seth so much
