Two Northwest ISD students charged for school attack plan

Two Northwest ISD students are facing felony charges after officials found a 'troubling and violent' document of plans to attack a middle school, according to a report from our media partner NBC5.

In a statement to NBC5, Northwest ISD said administrators at Truett Wilson Middle School were made aware of the 'concerning document' on Wednesday.

What they found in the document was a detailed plan to attack the campus, including a 'watch list' of 25 students and seven employees.

According to the district, the families of each person on the list are being alerted. They are also providing additional security and counselors on campus for the remainder of the week.

Details of the document were not released, but the district said the language used 'mirrors similar terroristic threats issued at schools across the country.'

"Today we partnered with the Fort Worth Police Department to take immediate action in response to a troubling and violent document maintained by several students," the district said.

"All students involved in the creation and modification of this document will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law."

Two students have been arrested for the document, but their names and ages have not been released as it's presumed they are juveniles.

The district is still exploring the possibility of additional students having access to the document, and the investigation is ongoing.

Northwest ISD says anyone with additional details about the investigation should contact the Fort Worth Police Department at 817-392-4222.
