WIMBERLEY (AP) — Students re
turned to Danforth Junior High
School on Monday as four classmates
accused of plotting a potentially
deadly attack at the campus re
mained in juvenile custody.
About 90 percent of Danforth’s
400 students came to school Monday
after an alleged bomb-attack plot was
revealed over the weekend, Wimber-
ley School District Superintendent
David Simmons said.
He said attendance is usually
about 95 percent.
“Some [parents] are concerned to
the point that they did not feel safe in
bringing their children back today,
but 90 percent did,” he said.
No security officers were on cam
pus Monday, though some law offi
cers were on patrol nearby if needed,
Simmons said.
On Friday, police arrested five
eighth-grade boys from the school on
juvenile charges of conspiracy to
commit murder, conspiracy to com
mit arson and conspiracy to manu
facture explosives.
The fifth boy was later released.
The four 14-year-old boys in cus
tody appeared before County Court
at Law Judge Howard Warner, who
ordered them to remain in juvenile
custody until another detention hear
ing.
That has not been scheduled but
is expected within 10 days.
The boys wore orange jail jump
suits and handcuffs as they were es
corted to court by law officers. Warn
er banned reporters from the
proceeding, which was attended by
the four boys’ parents, and issued a
gag order on participants.
Assistant District Attorney Patrick
Keaveny would say only that, “The
judge has detained them.”
Hays County Sheriff Don Mon
tague told a crowd of concerned par
ents Sunday he is convinced the four
youths were the only ones involved
