It's still hard to determine the facts here.
If he's been actively trying to recruit other people for a shoot out at school, it's obviously a crime. However, if all they have to go on is a paper from a private journal, it can hardly be called a 'threat', crime or whatever.
Heck, I've made detailed plans for armed assaults on local supermarkeds, just for the fun of it. I've never actually meant to do any such thing, but I get a kick out of creating realistic scenarios that involve tactical planning.
Should I be arrested for planning a crime?
There could be several reasons for making such plans. Now, I'm not saying the kid's innocent, I'm saying it's impossible to know.
