Police say Connecticut teenager threatened Columbine

Before she was arrested on allegations of planning to shoot up two high schools, a Connecticut teenager was suspected of making threats against Columbine High School in Colorado. Natalie Carpenter, 18, is accused of phoning in a threat to Columbine, The Register Citizen reported. She was arrested March 4 and pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit assault, the newspaper said. Carpenter was arrested in Torrington on charges that she plotted with Peter Thulin, 19, to sneak into Danbury High School, hold students and staff hostage, and shoot until ‘‘everyone was dead,’’ police said.
