SPOKANE, Wash. - Spokane police have arrested a 16-year-old boy accused of making threats and tagging graffiti about an upcoming "Columbine style shooting" at his Spokane high school.

Detectives arrested the teen at his home on Tuesday for investigation of threats that had been made, with plans to bomb or injure property. Police also executed a search warrant at the boy's house.

Police received a report a few weeks ago of a conversation among students that referred to a "Columbine style shooting" to occur at North Central High School. The students were not identified.
