What good does it do to warn teachers of anything? They aren’t armed. Most aren’t trained in self-defense. They have one job and avoiding whackos with guns isn’t it... especially trueif you aren’t going to allow them or anyone but a single school resource officer to have the tools necessary to combat a shooter. It’s like issuing a tornado warning to a pasture full of sheep.
This is on law enforcement with some on the school district as well (added security could have helped). Near as I can tell from afar, all the signs were there.
I agree, though I'd put the school first. Articles seem to indicate the sheriff knew nothing about this kid, which likely means the school administration never contacted them.

I would say its the other way around. The school should have been far more aggressive in reporting this threat to police. Everyone in the school knew well his potential for violence and his disturbed mind. This guy clearly had an unhealthy obsession with guns that could lead to a deadly incident.
The school had more than enough information about him to document the reality of the threat he posed. For whatever reasons, the school administrators seemed reluctant to aggressively notify police and seek their urgent intervention and assistance.
