"A student who overheard a classmate making threats to carry out a school shooting in western Pennsylvania may have helped prevent a massive tragedy"

I think considering the events talked about on this site. When a shooting caught before and is stopped. We should celebrate that and consider it a victory to the victims of Columbine and other school and mass shootings. Someone had the sense to be listening and reported it. Then the people took action and stopped it from happening. Children in that school can now live on. Whoever that boy was who over heard the would be gunman and did something about it. I say God Bless you.

Someone posted about this when it happened:

If you're interested in shootings that were stopped, there are a few stray threads about individual foiled plots and there is also a thread about shootings that were stopped before the shooter started or before there were more than a few casualties:

According to the articles about the foiled Pennsylvania plot, the boy planned to target four specific people. I wonder if bullying was involved or whether he wanted to target them for other reasons.

You know everyone goes to the bullying thing. I've read a report that Dylan bullied Adam Kyler until he was afraid to go to school. That Dylan threaten to kill him if he reported anything or showed up to school. So it seems Dylan has a lot more harsher form of bullying than just shoving someone against a locker or being called a name.

Either way no matter what happened other than manipulation I'll give that. Anything that happened before the shootings doesn't matter anymore. Murdering is an ultimate sin and it overshadows anything prior.

That boy had plans to target 4 students, but we don't know the carnage he would have made looking for those four students. Now's kinda what do you do with him? Trial him as an adult? Do you give them life in prison or even death? Stick him in a nut house?

This could have been fucking tragic.
