The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office claims it has ended a 16-year-old girl’s “serious murder/suicide plot” at Mesa’s Red Mountain High School.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s heading up the press conference later today to answer questions, but according to information provided by MCSO, the girl posted threats on YouTube about killing herself “and some of her peers” at the high school.
