GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (AP) -- An arrest affidavit says a teen accused of wanting to blow up a western Colorado school allegedly talked with others about going out "in a blaze of glory like Columbine High School."

The affidavit says 18-year-old Robert Dell Johnson allegedly talked with three people at Palisade High School about "what it would be like to shoot up" the school. The document says Johnson allegedly told investigators he does not like the principal or assistant principal.

A judge signed off Thursday on a motion to unseal the affidavit.

Johnson is being held on $100,000 bond on charges of solicitation to commit possession of an explosive or incendiary device and interference with school operations.
