BOERNE, Texas -- Local police arrested a former Boerne High School student last week for allegedly planning a "Columbine-style" attack at the city's new high school on Monday, investigators said.

Allen Wayne Doelitsch, 18, was arrested by Boerne police and charged with solicitation of a minor to commit capital murder after sending text messages to a 14-year-old asking him to join in an attack reminiscent of the 1999 school shooting at Columbine High School in Colorado that claimed the lives of 15 people including the two shooters.

"I'm down for columbine," the 14-year-old responded, according to a Boerne Police Department press release. "That's my boy. Ya I know I hate life now I just wana kill people at Champion high school and then blo my own head off."

Boerne Police Chief Gary Miller said the 14-year-old then shared some of those messages with friends, who then went to police. Boerne is located just north of San Antonio.

"If it had just been the 14-year-old and Doelistch, we don't know what the consequences might have been," Boerne Police Chief Gary Miller said.

Doelitsch graduated from Boerne in May and spent his final year at an alternative school for incidents dating back to 2006 when he wrote hate messages and made references to a shootout at the school, according to the press release.

"We've known about it so long that our goal was to accomplish his arrest in such a way that he's removed from the Boerne community," Boerne ISD Superintendent John Kelly said.

Doelitsch is in the Kendall County jail on a $500,000 bond. The 14-year-old is in custody on unrelated charges and has not been charged in this incident, police said.
