An 11-Year-Old’s Dark Joke Turns Deadly Serious: Carlo Dorelli Faces Felony Charges

It started innocently enough—schoolyard chatter. But when Dorelli began bragging to classmates about a chilling "kill list" and showing off a video of his arsenal, things took a dark turn. Airsoft rifles, knives, swords—these weren’t the typical toys one might expect to find in a child’s room. The cache was extensive, and for the authorities, it was all too real. As one classmate put it, "At first, we thought he was just messing around.
