Shooting plot
Winslow Township High School gained national attention in 2006 because of a shooting plot which was to take place during a lunch period. Two females, sophomores at the high school, had heard rumors of a plot in close relation to the 2003 movie 'Elephant' and alerted school officials who in turn notified the Winslow Township Police Department. The students involved were arrested before the plot could be carried out. The only subject to be sentenced at this point has received four years probation and must undergo counseling and psychological evaluations.
