Dylann's an odd case. He scored in the 99th percentile for some and the 9th for others.
Here's a breakdown of his full IQ test:
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]I feel bad about posting Alvaro Castillo because he was interesting, got good grades, and is leagues away from people like Nik but his IQ was 90.
The Halifax plot shooters qualify. They made
posters for their attack.
I don't know his actual intelligence but Randy Stair's lack of subtlety is stunning. I don't know how he didn't get caught.
Here's a few stupid ways people got caught:
"Al DeGuzman planned a Columbine-style school shooting at the school. An employee at a Longs Drugs store developed pictures of DeGuzman posing with his guns and homemade bombs. She and a coworker called the police."
"17-year-old David Riehm was arrested at his home on January 25, 2005, after authorities at Cook County High School turned over a collection of writings and essays to police in which Riehm described in great detail shooting and killing his English teacher."
"16-year-old Russell Frantom was arrested after notebook retrieved from his locker at Penn High School stated, "I wanna break the current shooting record. I wanna get instant recognition.""
"A 16-year-old student posted a threat on the website Newgrounds stating that he would go to Attleborough High School (currently named Attleborough Academy) with a gas canister, set fire to the building and commit other acts of violence. A Newgrounds user from Montreal, Quebec, Canada notified English authorities via Skype after seeing the threat."
"18-year-old Liam Lyburd was arrested at his home after posting online about a plot to commit mass murder at Newcastle College. [...] Police searched his computer and found out he had bought the weapons via the deep web and had written a manifesto, which he tried to delete."
"A 16-year-old at Fremont High School was arrested after a student informed a school resources officer they saw the student had a gun in his waistband."
"An 18-year-old, Joshua O'Connor, was arrested after his grandmother discovered a journal that contained plans to commit a school shooting at ACES Alternative High School and reported the plan to police."
