San Antonio minor accused of school-shooting plot could be let go if prosecutors fail to charge him soon


The San Antonio 13-year-old accused of plotting a mass shooting at Rhodes Middle School could be released next week without facing penalties if state prosecutors don’t formally charge him soon, according to media reports. Juvenile Court Judge William “Cruz” Shaw on Wednesday ruled that the child, who hasn’t been identified because he’s a minor, should remain in custody after a probation officer told the court that he remains “a danger to himself and others,” the Express-News reports. That ruling in Shaw’s 436th Juvenile District Court came despite the boy’s grandmother proposing the child be released into her custody with a GPS monitor, according to the daily.
