An 18 year old high school student in the US state of Kentucky has been arrested for "terrorist threatening", & faces a second degree felony charge.
His alleged crime?
Writing a fictional short story about a high school being over run by zombies.

To be fair though, his grandparents found it and were so disturbed they turned it over to the police. Surely if it sounded so innocent, wouldn't they have dismissed it?
The only reason this was taken seriously is because of Columbine. For months (and years?) they wrote things like this in their diaries - but everyone was accused of not caring and under-estimating, when people found out that some had read what they wrote, those kinds of things, and dismissed them.
