Teen apologizes for plotting school attackBy TOM COYNE, Associated Press WriterSOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — A teenager has apologized for plotting a Columbine-style attack at a northern Indiana high school, telling a judge he never intended to carry out the plan. The 16-year-old South Bend boy read a statement during a court hearing Tuesday during which a judge sentenced him to the state juvenile correctional system. He could remain in state custody until he turns 21. The teen pleaded guilty last month to plotting to attack Penn High School near Mishawaka. Authorities say the teenager exchanged e-mails with an Ohio man in April discussing simultaneous mass murders at Penn High and at another location that investigators haven't identified. Court documents unsealed in Ohio last month said authorities seized a spiral notebook from the boy's locker that contained entries in which he expressed hatred toward classmates.
