A Schaumburg (Ill.) High School student has been charged with felony
possession of a stolen firearm and two misdemeanors after she allegedly stashed
a stolen gun in her car and talked about killing two other students. Prosecutors
say Ashley M. Ross, 17, 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. The teen's purported targets were a
female friend and the friend's boyfriend. Following a parent's tip, a Schaumburg
police officer based at the school identified Ross as the suspect and found the
gun in her car.
