Florida woman 'consumed' by Columbine and Oklahoma City arrested with two dozen pipe bombs

A Florida woman "consumed" by the Oklahoma City bombing and the Columbine High School shooting built two dozen pipe bombs and was arrested before she could pull off a "catastrophic" attack, officials said Friday.
The parents of Michelle Kolts, 27, called 911 early Thursday night and deputies found two dozen nail and pellet bombs that just needed gun powder to be detonated, Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister said.
"These bombs could have caused catastrophic damage and harm to hundreds, even thousands of people," the sheriff said.
The deputies also found pistol powder, "fuse material," 23 knives, two hatchets, nunchucks, two BB rifles, six BB handguns and dozens of books on terrorism and bomb-making at the family's home on Jagged Cloud Drive in Wimauma, about 30 miles south of downtown Tampa.
