Two Florida students, aged 13 and 14, have been arrested after confessing to planning a mass shooting at their school, The Villages Charter Middle School, in Lady Lake, Florida. Their identities have not been disclosed.

The two were first questioned after school officials found out about rumors of a school shooting on Tuesday. When the 13-year-old arrived at school on Wednesday, he was intercepted by police and confessed to planning the attack according to a press release from the Sumter County Sheriff's Department.

At that time, he acknowledged conversations involving the plot and referenced the mass shooting at Columbine High School.

The apprehended student then indicated that another was involved, which is when the 14-year-old was also questioned and confessed, eerily, to his involvement in planning a Columbine-like shooting.

The student informed officials that the two students had planned an attack which included what they would use as a signal to open fire.
