Texas Teen Girls Arrested for Alleged Mass Casualty Plot at High School

Two teenage girls, aged 15 and 16, have been arrested in Houston, Texas, for allegedly plotting a 'mass casualty attack' at Memorial High School. The FBI received credible information about the plan, which involved using pipe bombs and firearms, prompting a rapid investigation that led to their arrest within 30 minutes. The 16-year-old had previously attended Memorial High but was currently enrolled in an alternative school, while the 15-year-old is a student at Willis High School. Authorities have emphasized the importance of vigilance in reporting potential threats, and additional security measures have been put in place at the school. Law enforcement agencies praised the swift collaborative response that potentially prevented a tragedy. Both girls face serious charges, with one being charged with making a terroristic threat.
