VIRGINIA BEACH

Virginia Beach police charged two teens with conspiracy to commit a terrorist act during Bayside High School’s prom on Saturday at The Westin in Town Center.

Police announced Monday that they arrested Michael Coleman, 18, and a 17-year-old from Virginia Beach after a semi-automatic rifle was found in a hotel room and a 9 mm handgun was discarded outdoors.

“Extra security was on hand at the prom after police advised us of previous neighborhood incidents occurring within the Bayside school zone,” Bayside High School Principal Jim Miller said in a message to the community Monday afternoon.

About May 30, Virginia Beach police learned that individuals with no ties to Bayside High were trying to buy tickets to the school’s prom. They went on sale at the school on April 23 and were available through May 11, according to the school.
