Teenagers accused in Rochester

Seven teenagers ages 15 to 18 face charges of first-degree arson and burglary after a fire this week at Rochester High School. Juvenile prosecutors accuse the students of plotting to burn down the school. Some of them told Thurston County sheriff’s deputies that they were upset about their friend’s suspension, Chief Criminal Deputy Jim Chamberlain said Thursday. “The reason for the attack was to take it out on the school,” he said...

"They stacked up wood and propane tanks against the side of the wood shop and doused it in oil," (Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Wayne) Graham said. The oil failed to ignite, he said, "so they left and came back one hour later with gasoline and completed the mission..."
