"Michael McDonough, 17, said he learned his lesson after the July 2007 plot that prosecutors said was masterminded by a younger boy. Authorities said the plot was timed to mark the anniversary of the Columbine High School massacre.
Police have said the teen also tried to purchase weapons and explosives online and made a video describing the attack, which they had intended to carry out on April 20 -- the ninth anniversary of the Columbine shootings.
State Supreme Court Justice Robert W. Doyle ordered McDonough to immediately begin serving 5 years of probation.
As part of the sentence, McDonough agreed to continue weekly counseling administered by his priest.
"I'm sorry about what happened," McDonough said. "It will never happen again."
WTF? "I promise that I will not plan to shoot and kill or mame any students or blow up anything ever, cross my heart." OK, then just make sure you speak with a priest once a week and we'll forget it ever happened. Now who wants some ice cream?
