Student charged as an adult in plot to kill classmates

Recommended Posts

ROLLING MEADOWS, Ill.---- A Schaumburg High School student has been charged as an adult in connection with an alleged plot to kill two classmates.

 

Prosecutors say 17-year-old Ashley M. Ross stashed a stolen gun in her car on the day of the alleged planned attack. However, she decided to leave the loaded pistol and a box of ammunition in the car, which she parked several blocks from the high school, because she didn't want to go to jail.

 

Ross is charged as an adult with felony possession of a stolen firearm and two misdemeanors -- unlawful use of a weapon and not having a firearm owner's identification card.

 

At the hearing Wednesday in the Rolling Meadows branch of Cook County Circuit Court, Judge Joseph Urso set bail at $10,000 and ordered a 24-hour-a-day curfew for Ross. He ruled she could leave home only for medical treatment or to buy groceries.

These suburbs are not far from where I live and work.

 

I find part of this story confusing. Does this student live alone? Otherwise why does she need to buy groceries? Where are her parents? What about going to the gas station? Is she still attending school, even an alternative school, if she has been expelled from her old one?
