Computer Game Turns into School Security Alarm

San Antonio police arrested a 16 year old after he bragged on an online gaming system about his plan to shoot students at Marshall High School. The Marshall High School student was playing Xbox 360 Live, a gaming system that allows players to talk live with other players from across the world. San Antonio police say the teen was telling a stranger in Canada details about how he planned to shoot a pregnant girl at school and shoot his best friend in the face. Police say a Canadian man who was playing the game with the Marshall High School student became so alarmed by what the teenager was saying that he contacted Canadian authorities and reported it to them.
