Two Satan-worshipping tweens allegedly planned to go on a stabbing rampage and kill more than a dozen middle school classmates, according to officials.
Police in Florida said the female students, ages 11 and 12, were found armed and hiding Tuesday in the bathroom at Bartow Middle School, news station WTVT reported.

The girls — whose identities haven’t been released because they’re minors — allegedly brought butcher knives and a pizza cutter to school to carry out the attack.
School staff discovered the girls in the bathroom and took them to the principal’s office, where they confessed to plotting the killing spree for Satanic purposes, authorities said.
Police said the girls were in the bathroom because they were waiting for children smaller than them to attack.
The tweens allegedly told investigators they planned to kill at least 15 people in the school stabbing.
Police searched their home and found a hand-drawn map of the middle school with the words, “Go to kill in bathroom,” according to WTVT.
Disturbing messages reviewed on their phones showed they had been planning the attack for several days, officials said.
“We will leave body parts at the entrance and then we will kill ourselves,” one message reportedly said.
Both girls were arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit murder and possession of a weapon on school property.
“This is horrific,” Bartow Police Chief Joe Hall said during a news conference. “If I had children in school I’d be half scared to death.”
