What shootings were stopped or prevented before they even happend, or if they did happen with only a few victims, had the potential to be like what Anders Brievik and Stephen Paddock did?

I think this attempt is the most notable one. If I can think of any others I'll be sure to list them.

I've already mentioned him before, but Liam Lyburd is interesting. He bought a 9mm Glock 19 Gen 3, 3 31 round Glock 9mm magazines, 94 9mm JHP bullets, CS gas canisters and materials used to make pipe bombs. He lived in Newcastle and was arrested hours before he was going to commit his attack. Although I hate Buzzfeed and all their radical feminist stuff (I don't have a problem with regular feminism, but radical feminism is bad) they made a good article on him.

Kimveer Gill brought a Beretta Cx4 Storm and a handgun to Dawson College. The Cx4 Storm's muzzle velocity is as high as a P226's, therefore making it a powerful carbine. If it weren't for the two police officers (who happened to be at the school for an unrelated incident) and who forced Kimveer to hold two people hostage then consequently kill himself, he would've unfortunately killed a lot more people.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] I doubt it would have ended up as anything more than a minor shooting since he only had a double-barreled shotgun and a knife, at least 2 would be injured but after that he could easily be tackled while reloading and that would have been the end of it.

Maybe some of you remember shallow existence (James gamble ) and cockswastika (Lindsay souvanarah ) and randy shepherd (genestogenocide )who all three were quiet active on tumblr a few years ago. They got arrested for planning to shot up a mall on valentines day 2015 and had materials to make Molotov cocktails, bombs and a hunting rifle and shotgun. Im not sure ho mutch of a high kill count they would have gotten but without a doubt they'd have become a lot of fame since James and Lindsay planned to do the main thing together and that didn't happened that often (although I think it's actually a nice valentines day idea for an activity with your crush hahaha )

He was just stupid to make those facebook comments, and also very unlucky.

Indeed. He could've gotten a high kill count if he wasn't stopped. And he was the only one that actually managed to get guns before getting stopped. He was arrested hours before he planned to commit the attack which is honestly unbelievable. If they had delayed raiding him by only a few hours he might've done it.

According to this news article: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] The infamous serial killer David Berkowitz (AKA "The Son of Sam") planned to go out in a "blaze of glory" by shooting up a night club with an assault rifle.

Out of curiousity how much do you define to be a high kill count?

I can't speak for him, but personally I'd define it as 20 or more people killed.

15 or more.
And I thought my standards were high with 10.
You think he could have killed 15+? He had less than 100 hollow point bullets and (I presume) little to no practice With his Glock. And the fact that this was a college, not a primary school like Dunblane makes me think he would not be able to get that many kills, with a lot more being injured.
I do believe it would be a big deal, but i don't know if it could be that big.
There are so many variable factors such as where he would attack, how he would attack, how the students would react, how quickly police responded, whether the pipe bombs would go off and how bad his accuracy would be that it's hard to say how many kills he could have gotten.

Newcastle-on-Tyne is a big city so the SWAT teams would be quick to react.

Thanks for that article. Does it say anywhere that it was inspired by Columbine? I didn't see it mentioned by name, but the timing and the details suggest that it was.

Found this in article "These included military-style clothing, floorplans of their school and contact lenses designed to make their eyes completely white - just like those worn by the Columbine killers." Contact lenses? E&D never wore contact lenses in the massacre. At least I think so.

I remember when these three people planned to shoot up a mall at the Halifax Shopping Centre. Two of the perpetrators were arrested and one ended up committing suicide..They even hinted of the shooting before hand on their Tumblr accounts.
The media was talking about Columbiners for days after that.
Really wish I could post a link, but I am a new member.

I heard that James Gamble (the guy who had the guns and commit suicide) actually was the one who sent the tip to Crimestoppers that got the other 2 arrested.

Yeah, if it was Facebook the accounts would've been shut down by the time they figured out who it belonged to.

First link that came up on google, there is tons of other news outlets that covered those boys. I actually don't trust any media site as I've had stories written about me and people I've known and the articles are about as far from reality as possible.
A former friend of mine took a knife to his office block and attempted to stab someone he worked with, and because I would discuss crime topics with him a year earlier, they included me in the news report saying how I was his side kick, even though the police checked my computer and didn't find anything linked to him and were even told by him that he hadn't talked to me in a year. Luckily I was 17 at the time so by law they couldn't say my name on TV or the reports. But it made me realize that the police must be feeding info to the media for a bribe or something, there is no way the media could have even known I was his friend as it was before the social media days and I only had him on MSN Messenger under a nickname. The police must have tipped them off about this information.
