Five teenage boys are expected in court in Kansas today.

They're accused of plotting a shooting spree at their high school on the anniversary of the Columbine massacre.

They range in age from 16 to 18 and one of them allegedly discussed the plan on a Web site.

The shooting was planned for yesterday, but the boys were arrested after a warning message appeared on the Web site MySpace.com.

A North Carolina woman who chatted with one of the suspects on the Web site notified authorities.

Cherokee County Sheriff Steve Norman says deputies found guns, ammunition, knives and coded messages in the bedroom of one suspect.

There were about a dozen targets, including a staff member.
