Police arrested a North Carolina university student who admitted to planning a mass shooting at his school, authorities said Wednesday.

Officers charged Paul Steber, a 19-year-old freshman at High Point University in North Carolina, with two felony counts of having a gun on campus and an additional count for making threats of mass violence on Tuesday after a classmate reported him, police said.

Steber allegedly had ammunition and two firearms -- a 9 mm semi-automatic pistol and a double-barrel, 12-gauge shotgun -- in his dorm room when he was arrested. Authorities said he dose not appear to have any criminal history.

Steber, a Boston native, told authorities that he came to North Carolina because it was easier to gain access to guns, prosecutors said. He said he intended to carry out a shooting by Christmas.

The High Point Police Department praised the student who reported Steber to school administrators in a statement Wednesday.

Exactly! I was going to say he’s been on Ritalin since he was a toddler. There are millions like him out there. Sad children.

What the hale is wrong with these kids nowadays? That’s crazy talk. Why would joining a some fraternity be so important to him?

“...I think he went off his MKUltra script and got stopped before he could do anything....”
Yep. A “broken” MKUltra wind-up toy. Usually, these wind-up toy zombies have a “handler” to ensure they’re aimed at the proper target. It would be interesting to find out who that is.

If he was 19 and a freshman (It still August), this kid was not the sharpest tool in the shed. Mommy and Daddy held him back a year for some reason.

I was only on that campus for 1 semester. I did the Winston Salem campus after that

Yep.

It’s the communist controlled teachers unions who pushed for Ritalin to make the kids more “compliant”, or more open to suggestion which makes indoctrination to socialism/communism easier.

Every one of these shooters since Columbine has had the crazy looking, glazed over eyes.

"prosecutors said Steber desperately wanted to pledge a fraternity and the plot hinged on whether or not he got into one."

His Delta Tau Chi pledge name will be "Flounder".

One way or the other,the left will get us. There are no coincidences. The left is masterful in sowing the seeds of events and propaganda. I am of the opinion that only another civil war is the inevitable solution to them.

Sounds like he’s got mental issues going on and maybe doing some drugs on the side. Three years in a prison should resolve some of this.

I took a peek using Google Earth after posting that and I came to the same conclusion.
