Gun seized from student was loaded
Sheriff's officials said they have no reason to believe David Alexander Vanheeren had violent intentions Wednesday when he brought the gun, four pocket knives and a tube of an unknown white substance to school.

“As far as we can tell there wasn't a plan,”

"no reason to believe ... had violent intentions" ........ ?
"loaded gun, four pocket knives and a tube of an unknown white substance" ... probably for "show and tell"?

Perhaps the letters were too small on the gun free zone sign?

For someone with no apparent violent intentions, he sure was loaded for bear! I wonder how the sheriff's department came to the conclusion he had no such intentions? Did they just ask him? Something doesn't add up.....

Because he didn't have a "plan"
Government research shows that all school shooters construct a "plan" and post videos or facebook pages of themselves holding a gun or going on a rant prior to shooting, and this guy forgot to.

The two armed robbers who held my store up in Houston in 1970s also didn't have a "plan" I could tell when they had to think after I suggested locking us up in the store room.

I'm guessing they all missed the class on how to plan and talk about things beforehand and post clues online so people could "see something say something" and refer you to a counselor.... and without doing things the "proper way" giving clues beforehand, no one could have violent intentions.

Campus police found an unloaded handgun and eight bullets inside an eighth-grader’s backpack Thursday at Appling Middle School.

The gun is the second one seized at the school in the past 31 days -- and the third in the past year.
Four guns have been found on Bibb County school property so far this school year, Floore said.

An additional two incidents have been reported involving students, schools and guns.

A suspicious man who was spotted on the Northeast High School campus in January later was apprehended off campus along with a gun.

In a second case, the mother of a Southwest High School student called police after her son went home from school and gave her a gun he said he got from another student at a bus stop. Floore said there’s no evidence that gun was ever on campus.

I'm guessing they can't read the signs? :headscratch
