Active shooter at bordering school

[JHC]

"The U.S. Secret Service has long wrestled with this problem as it has sought to evaluate people who might attack the president or other protected officials. In 1999, after a mass shooting at Columbine High School outside Denver left 13 people dead, the agency realized its methods could be used to evaluate threats in schools, too, and began sharing its tools with educators. By 2018, the Secret Service’s National Threat Assessment Center had published a 32-page guide that recommended multidisciplinary threat assessment teams, with a set of criteria for intervention. The FBI also sees threat assessment as a valuable tool in trying to prevent mass school shootings."

I seem to recall that around San Antonio there was a Federal program, FBI perhaps, that was having good luck interdicting such threats.

Michigan school shooting suspect posted direct threat on social media day before tragedy: lawsuit
Lawsuit states Ethan Crumbley allegedly posted threat to his Twitter account night before shooting

Michigan school shooting suspect Ethan Crumbley made threats on social media days before he fatally shot four students, according to a new lawsuit filed Thursday against the school district on behalf of two survivors.

Plaintiffs Jeffrey Franz and Brandi Franz are suing the Oxford Community School District on behalf of their daughters, who are 12th- and ninth-grade students at Oxford High School — one of whom was shot in the neck and one of whom "narrowly escaped" bullets "discharging toward her." The complaint was filed Thursday in a Michigan district court.

Plaintiffs allege that Principal Steven Wolf and Superintendent Tim Thorne made "the student victims less safe" before Crumbley, 15, brought a weapon to school and opened fire on his classmates.

"Previous to the November 30, 2021 incident, Ethan Crumbley posted countdowns and threats of bodily harm, including death, on his social media accounts, warning of violent tendencies and murderous ideology prior to actually coming to school with the handgun and ammunition to perpetuate the slaughter," the lawsuit states.

Crumbley allegedly posted this statement to his Twitter account on the night before the shooting, according to the lawsuit: "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds. See you tomorrow Oxford."

Although his account was private at the time, he put the quote in his profile biography, which is available for the public to see.

On or around Nov. 16, parents apparently voiced their concerns to Wolf about Crumbley's threats made on social media.

In a Nov. 16 email to parents, Wolf wrote, "I know I'm being redundant here, but there is absolutely no threat at the HS…large assumptions were made from a few social media posts, then the assumptions evolved into exaggerated rumors," according to the lawsuit.

The complaint also alleges that Thorne "sent correspondence and emails to parents at Oxford High School reassuring them that their children were safe at Oxford High School."

Thorne apparently "warned the students, via loudspeaker, to stop spreading information over social media and to stop relying on information on social media, reiterating that there were no threats that posed any danger to students at Oxford High School."

"Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."

Oppenheimer's translation of Vishnu's words from the Bhagavad Gita as he morphed into his multi-armed form to scare a prince to kill a bunch of people, as Vishnu would do it if the prince didn't.

Oppenheimer was a Indophile and Hindu/sanskirt scholar. He recited those words in reference to realizing that he and his team now possessed the same power as Vishnu by creating the atom bomb....they were now destroyers of worlds.
