Two young boys are accused in court documents of planning to kill one of their female classmates at their elementary school in Washington state.

The boys, ages 10 and 11, devised a plan to lure their female classmate away from Fort Colville Elementary School in Washington in order to kill her, school officials said, according to court documents released this week.

The 11-year-old told school officials that he and his accomplice had been planning their attack, initially citing what they considered the girl's annoying personality to school officials as their motive to kill, according to the documents.

Their plan unraveled Feb. 7, however, after a fourth-grader witnessed the 11-year-old removing a knife from his backpack on the school bus the morning of their planned attack, according to the documents. The student informed a teacher of the sighting upon arriving to school, which is when the two boys' backpacks were searched.

A knife, a .45 semi-automatic pistol and a full ammunition clip were discovered in the 10-year-old's backpack, the court papers said.

Thank goodness for the kid who wasn't too afraid to say something to a teacher.

This could have been a horrific crime, glad it was adverted.

i dunno, the whole thing is very - odd.

Odd is an understatement... This sounds just plain sick at so many levels...

Right? How would you even react, as a parent, if your child was found out to be planning a rape and murder. At the age of 10/11. And that he was going to use what I assume was their firearm.

...and how they got a hold of a .45.... although we all know that guns don't kill people, so there should be no reason these two boys should not be afforded their 2nd amendment rights...
