KANSAS CITY, Mo. — An 18-year-old man is accused of telling people he planned to shoot Platte County R-3 High School. Joshua Clark of Platte City is charged in Platte County Court with making a terrorist threat, which is a misdemeanor. A judge denied a request Wednesday to lower Clark's bond and increased Clark's bond to $100,000, cash-only. He ordered Clark not to possess any weapons capable of lethal use, to have no contact with any Platte County R-3 schools and undergo a mental evaluation, according to a court document.
