GREEN BAY, Wis. -- A third suspect has been arrested in an alleged plot to carry out a "Columbine-style" attack at a Wisconsin high school.
In the past two and a half days, Green Bay police have continuously interviewed people -- trying to find out if East High School is a safe place for students.
Saturday night, those interviews led them to a third arrest.
Police said the newest person of interest, Bradley Netwal, 18, is a former East High student, a friend of Cornell and Sturtz who helped plan an attack on the place he attended high school.
When East High principal Ed Dorff heard about his arrest Saturday morning, he called the police, and requested canine units search the school as a precautionary measure.
He wanted to be able to tell East High parents with 100 percent confidence that their kids are not in danger here.
"Are you worried that there might be more than just three involved? I was thinking a lot about that after I heard about this, and the first thought I’ve got is I really have complete faith in the abilities of the police to do what they need to do and that if there was anybody else involved, if there was any danger involved, they would have let us know," said Dorff. "Now I’m thinking maybe there is more and there could be more than 3 or 4, 5 guys involved."
Bradley Newtal faces police charges of conspiracy to commit homicide and conspiracy to commit arson.
He’s scheduled to appear in court on Monday afternoon.
Green Bay police said they found homemade explosives, 10 guns, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition at one suspect's home earlier this week.
