Student charged over zombie story?

William Poole, a junior at George Rogers Clark High School in Winchester, was arrested Thursday at school on a terroristic threatening charge.

The arrest came after a tip from a family member that Pool [sic] was trying to "recruit a gang to take over the school," Detective Berl Perdue said.

"He didn't have a gang, but he was attempting to organize one," Perdue said.

Poole told LEX 18 that the whole incident is a big misunderstanding. He claims that what his grandparents found in his journal and turned into police was a short story he wrote for English class.

"My story is based on fiction," said Poole, who faces a second-degree felony terrorist threatening charge. "It's a fake story. I made it up. I've been working on one of my short stories, (and) the short story they found was about zombies. Yes, it did say a high school. It was about a high school over ran [sic] by zombies."

Nice grandparents. :roll:

eh, it's not always you....search function is kinda hit and miss especially when people use stupid meaningless topics.
 
I searched for this earlier and managed to find the first repost...
It's really not that hard.
Although finding the original is, but it's still easy to see that it's a repost.
 
The shooter from Paducah drafted a very similar story prior to the murders. However, he had turned in his essay "Halloween Surprise" and got an A for it.
