The two students accused of planning to blow up their high school with a homemade bomb made a number of disturbing social media posts about the Columbine massacre and feeling suicidal.
Alfred Dupree and Victoria McCurley, both 17, have been charged as adults with attempted murder and making terror threats after police received a tip off they were planning to bomb Etowah High School in Cherokee County, Georgia.
Cops searched found a journal at Duprees which revealed the plot and an alleged hit list of targets, while the search at McCurley's home uncovered the homemade incendiary device and an undetermined powder substance. The substance has been sent to the lab for testing.
Now it appears that the pair made a number of unsettling posts on social media, under secret pseudonyms, about mass shootings and suicide.
One post, by McCurley, showed a picture of the High School Musical movie poster, which had been altered to read 'High School Massacre' - with photoshopped photos of students been gunned down.
McCurley also made multiple references to the Columbine High School massacre which killed 15 in 1999.
She posted a picture of the Columbine killers Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold with the threatening message 'Fear the nobodies' and another surveillance still of the shooting which read 'Outrun my gun'.
McCurley also made multiple posts featuring guns, knives and swords, and even posted a picture of a hand drawn pentagram with the words 'hail Satan'.
Meanwhile, Dupree's posts bleak posts about death, one with the hashtag #killme, suggests he may have been feeling depressed or even suicidal.
Classmates who knew the pair - who were not romantically involved - said they didn't have many friends.
