Two Long Island teens were busted for planning a Columbine-like plot to bomb a school and gun down students and faculty, Suffolk County police said Friday.

Christopher Franko, 17, and his 16-year-old gal pal Dana Saltzman planned to carry out the bloodbath at Franko's former school, Connetquot High School in Bohemia, on June 10, cops said.

Thank goodness that Franko's social worker sensed something was in the works and notified police. Many deaths were prevented and lives saved by the actions of that one person. Kudos to the social worker!

“Franko’s social worker alerted police that Christopher… and Dana Saltzman were possibly conspiring to do harm to students,” said Sgt. Bill Doherty of the Fifth Precinct Crime Section. Doherty said Franko was allegedly set off when “unkind comments” on a Facebook were made under his name on a memorial page for two Connetquot High School students who had been killed in a car crash. It was unclear if the comments were actually made by Franko, he added.
