However this was no record to celebrate. Lockers in pieces Saturday morning, papers scattered everywhere upon what used to be a high school campus. Ashes, bricks and pieces lay everywhere. All of this destruction because of one “homemade black powder pipe bomb” that was set Friday evening at 4 p.m. according to Izzy Moppin. “And then I heard screaming.” exploded Mopin, after she had heard the “terrific explosion.” Although not all of the school was damaged, the majority will undergo some heavy construction in the weeks to come after the first school bomb was detonated in Central City School District history. How did this all come about? Police found and arrested four boys for the involvement of the bombing. “I heard that police sergeant say the boys will be released to their parents ‘ custody if the parents come to the police station to get them,” added spectator, sophomore, Jake Wilk. How would these suspects be punished? According to Bill Black, “If those boys are found guilty, their parents will have to pay for the damage done to the school.” On top of this, the teenage boys would receive an automatic expulsion from their schools. Who were these boys that committed this? Sophomore, Cooper Kohnstamm, he claimed that he knew two of the boys that were arrested. He implied that they both went to Tembrooke High School. “One’s Fred Snyder, he’s a sophomore. The other is Alan Arthur, he’s a senior.” As for the third boy, junior, Angelo Sampson, claims that he knows the man. “He pals around with my brother. His name is Chuck Bogseth. He’s got to be 21. I think he works at Burger King,” said Sampson, when asked if he know the tall man who was arrested. Unexpectedly, the fourth boy was a rival of Tembrooke High School. Ryan Fujita said that this boy was “Pat Sanders. He goes to Hartford High. Hartford hates Tembrooke.”
