Oct. 26 -- Two teenagers facing attempted murder charges in connection with threats made at a Cherokee County high school are due in court at noon.
What police know about the intentions of Alfred Dupree and Victoria McCurley, both 17, is largely gleaned from a diary Dupree kept, the sheriff's office said Wednesday.

As the investigation is ongoing, officials aren't releasing more information about statements Dupree made in that diary, sheriff's spokeswoman Sgt. Marianne Kelley said.
But social media posts made by McCurley appear to show her as a troubled individual who romanticizes events such as the 1999 Columbine High School massacre in pictures.

The profile picture on an Instagram profile with pictures of a teenage girl who resembles McCurley is an image of character Tyler Durden from "Fight Club," a movie about a depressed man living with multiple personalities who is encouraged to destroy people, places and things through an underground club for fighting.
The image reads, "In him we trust. Tyler Durden."
In addition to pictures of McCurley, the account includes an Oct. 11 post with an image of a student involved in the Columbine shooting above this caption and an Oct. 18 post showing a so-called bulletproof blanket shielding students in a hallway during a school shooting.
The previous month, a post featured what appears to be writing on a wall.
"Lost children with dirty faces today but no one really seems to care," according to the post.
McCurley and Dupree are accused of making specific threats against Etowah High School staff members and the building itself, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution previously reported.
