Two 14-Year-Old Florida Girls Face Criminal Charges After Plotting To Kill Classmates

Two 14-year-old girls in Central Florida were taken into custody Wednesday and face nine counts of conspiracy to commit murder and three counts of conspiracy to commit kidnapping, after allegedly placing students they disliked on a "hit list."

The students, who attended Avon Park Middle School, were brought under charges after being questioned on Wednesday after school. The Highlands County School Board reports that a teacher spoke to a school's resource officer about plans the students had to hurt fellow students after finding a disturbing folder belonging to them.

"The plans identify the suspects would obtain firearms and use the firearms to kill the victims," the arrest records said. "The plans further speak about the transportation of the victims' bodies to other locations and their disposal, specifically burning and burying their bodies."

While the teacher searched for a folder from the two students, according to the Highlands County Sheriff's Office, the young girls were "hysterical" and one reportedly said, "I'm just going to tell them it's a prank if they call me or find it."

When the teacher found the folder, there were eight sheets of notes which included in-depth plans about how to kill at least three students.

There were also notes entailing what the girls should wear so there potentially would be no evidence at the scene, such as gloves and hair placement.

One parent of a student who goes attends the school said that many parents were aware of the hit list.

"...a small town and people are getting crazy nowadays and especially you would think at a high school, but a middle school is pretty tough, right?" Javier Maldonado told WFLA, an NBC affiliate in Tampa.
