[WSB radio] It seems there is proof the school was called and warned before the shooting took place. Depending on the sources it ranges from the media 30 mins, or 1st boots on the ground saying over 1 hr.
A few things the boots also said, but has not been officially verified yet. Is 3 other teens were also arrested.
A few comments raised were along the lines of:
Why was the AR-15 was laid out in clear view like for a photo op?
Given the prior warning, why wasn't the School Shooter procedure properly followed?
Why were students crowded in large groups, as the Drone Pic's show.
The general thought being tossed around was.
Was this a semi-staged event?
Given the displayed AR-15, and a School shooting in a Swing state, all just 65+/- days before election.

So lets say this is fact, she called. For a school to ignore it one of a couple truths must be in play. First, whoever answered the phone is completely incompetent and could care less. Of all the years my kids were in school, the gals in the office were always on the ball. Maybe we got lucky, but they were all caring. Second, and more likely is they get call from frantic parents all day long and this one did not rise above the usual calls. I would ask, how many times has this parent called about her son? Probably so many times the office worker was numb to her calls and this one time it was real. It will, hopefully, all come out. But right now lets stick with the narrative, mom was a drug addicted drunk, dad was a gun nut that put the gun in the kids hand, and the kid was gay wanting transition. This narative is the go to playbook for the FBI and media. It ight be true in this instance, just like the moms phone call, but its a little hard to believe day one...

And remember kiddies, this is the news the left wants you to follow. 31, YES 31 people were shot in Chicago last weekend! But the news is silent on the number of kids and women killed. Its all designed to get us talking, blaming, and driving the gun owners are bad narrative, not the criminals with guns are bad narrative. We, all of us, are being played by the left media...

It seems some ITSEC Gary Hats acquired the quickly deleted social media page, which has a pic of him holding the Rifle.
That rifle was a Ruger 10/22 (22cal) with an aftermarket AR-15 looking stock applied.
Yes, the pic is also pretty clear that he looks like another Tranny with Mental Issues gone off the deep end.
Having been in the Atlanta area the last 2 days doing some things. Has there been any official public denial's regarding other arrested involved students yet?

Factor in that there may have been credible threats, but nobody could do anything because Alphabet Person and the established lawfare of 'targeting one' as such.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The mother of suspected Apalachee High School shooter Colt Gray told her family that she called her son's school to warn them of an 'extreme emergency' on the morning that he allegedly killed four people.
Marcee Gray, the alleged shooter's mother, was seen in text messages shared by The Washington Post telling her family: 'I told them it was an extreme emergency and for them to go immediately and find [my son] to check on him.'
The outlet reported that a call log from the family's shared phone plan shows Gray made a 10-minute call to the school at 9:50am on Wednesday, about half an hour before Colt allegedly opened fire.
Marcee's father, Charles Polhamus, told The New York Post that Colt had delivered an apology to his mother via text message prior to the shooting, prompting her to call the school.
'I’m sorry, mom,' the text read.
Marcee then hopped in her car and started driving toward the school, more than three hours away. But about half way there she learned that the tragedy she was racing to prevent had already taken place.
A counselor at the school told Marcee that her son had been talking about school shootings that morning, according to Gray's sister Annie Brown who spoke to The Post.
Soon after the shooting began, reports surfaced that Apalachee High School received a warning that the tragedy could unfold.
In reported texts sent by Marcee, she told her family: 'I was the one that notified the school counselor at the high school.'
According to Brown, her sister called the school because she learned something concerning that made her fear an 'impending disaster', however it is not reported what it was that she learned.
Her sister Annie Brown said that Marcee was told by a counselor that her son was displaying disturbing behavior that morning, ominously talking about school shootings.
At the same time, one of Colt's classmates Lyela Sayarath - who previously shared a chilling account of how close she came to death - told the outlet that a school administrator went to find Colt in their class.
In her previous account to CNN, Sayarath said Colt was a serial class skipper and she assumed that was what he was doing when he left the classroom minutes before the administrator arrived.
However, there was some confusion as there was another student with a similar name to Colt's in the class. Neither was in the room, and the administrator left the room with the similarly named student's backpack.
Further text exchanges reported from Marcee's sister showed that Colt's school and family were also in contact regarding his deteriorating mental health at least a week before the shooting.
In one text, Brown reportedly told a relative that Colt was having 'homicidal and suicidal thoughts.'
'He shouldn’t have a gun, and he should’ve been in THERAPY months ago,' she added in the text.
Brown said that her nephew had spent months 'begging' for mental health help, but the 'adults around him failed him.'
Marcee was previously ordered by a court to have only limited contact with Colt's father Colin after she pleaded guilty in December to a charge of family violence.
The alleged gunman's parents split in 2022 after they were evicted, and the family had been involved in Georgia's child welfare agency during their turmoil.
Months later in May 2023, the family were visited by local law enforcement after receiving an FBI tip about threats to carry out a school shooting. Colt denied making the threats, and Colin told cops that he kept hunting rifles in the home but his son was not allowed to use them unsupervised.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] An Alabama woman has been arrested for allegedly shooting and dismembering her partner with a chainsaw in the presence of their four-year-old child.
Joselina Elizabeth Lopez, 26, has been charged intentional murder of Benito Morales Guzman, 41, after authorities found his 'dismembered and decapitated' body at a house in Slocomb on August 27.
The search for Guzman began when his boss reported him missing last week, prompting authorities to visit his home he shared with Lopez.
On arrival, deputies noticed a 'strong odor of decomposition' - which they discovered was emitting from a Toyota Corolla filled with garbage bags nearby.
Detectives soon also discovered that the accused recently bought four electric chain saws from Lowe's and returned one.
'The chainsaw found in the vehicle still had human flesh on it,' arrest records read.
A gun was found in the house out of which five of the six cartridges were fired from the revolver. Two bullets were removed from Guzman's body.
As of now, SBI investigators believe that the accused shot Guzman five times, dismembered his body in nearly 15 pieces using a chainsaw and then stuffed him in trash bags to put in the trunk and back seat of the car.
Prosecutors and investigators suspect that their autistic child was present during the alleged killing.
Investigations also believe that the accused was planning to flee to Mexico - once they discovered a car seat, a packed diaper bag, the child's birth certificate and Lopez's passport in another car.
'Further, blood was found on the box of baby formula in the diaper bag,' court records said.
The accused is currently being kept at the Geneva County Jail, where she reportedly told a relative that 'I should have left earlier' during a phone conversation. Ya think?
During a bond hearing, she told the judge that she was acting out of self defense after she and her family were 'threatened after Guzman supposedly owed someone money for drugs,' according to WDHN.
Lopez also told the court that the victim was attempting to isolate her from her family.
Jennifer Wilkerson, Guzman's ex-wife said that Lopez's claim was 'unbelievable' and that he would never try to distance her from her family.
[FoxNews] The mayor said that seven people have been injured in the shooting, with some of the victims shot and others hurt in an accident on the highway
Police are searching the woods near Interstate 75 just north of London, Kentucky, after "numerous persons" were shot on the highway around 6 p.m. near exit 49, officials confirmed Saturday evening.
Joseph A. Couch, 32, a person of interest in the shooting, is considered armed and dangerous, police said.
"If you have any information regarding the whereabouts or location on this individual please contact the London-Laurel County 911 Center," the London Police Department said.
The department warned that Couch shouldn't be approached. He is described as a White man about 5 foot 10 inches, weighing around 154 pounds.
London Mayor Randall Weddle in an update said he had been told that seven people were injured in the shooting, but not all of them were shot.
"Some of them was due to an accident," he said, adding that no deaths have been reported.
The Laurel County Sheriff's Office said the highway was closed near the exit, which is nine miles north of London.
Police had originally responded to reports that a suspect was shooting at drivers from an overpass or a wooded area, multiple media accounts said.
The highway was closed between exits 41 and 59, FOX 56 reported, citing the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.
[FoxNews] Cadet 4th Class Avery Koonce was from Taylor, Texas
The U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado has launched an investigation after a 19-year-old cadet was found dead in her dorm room this week.
Cadet 4th Class Avery Koonce, 19, of Taylor, Texas, was "found unconscious in her dormitory" on Wednesday night and attempted life-saving measures by first responders were unsuccessful, the Academy said in a statement. Koonce was set to graduate in 2028 and was a member of the women’s track and field team.
"We lost an incredible teammate... While only with us for a short time, Avery positively impacted her unit, her intercollegiate team, and her class – her loss will be felt across USAFA," Academy Superintendent Lt Gen Tony Bauernfeind said. "Our team is focused on providing support to Avery’s family, Cadet Squadron 38, the Track and Field team, and the entire Academy family."
"Avery, may you find blue skies and tailwinds as you rest forever in peace," the Academy added.
Koonce attended Thrall High School, according to the Austin American-Statesman, which quoted the district’s superintendent as saying that she was the president of the student council and leader of the National Honor Society.
"She was the epitome of our high school," Superintendent Tommy Hooker told the newspaper. "She is what you would want in a well-rounded student. Our community is at kind of at a loss with our feelings. We are just kind of devastated."
U.S. Rep. Pete Sessions, who nominated Koonce to attend the U.S. Air Force Academy outside of Colorado Springs, also told the Austin American-Statesman that he was "incredibly saddened to hear about the loss of Cadet Koonce."
"She was a thoughtful and articulate young woman, well prepared for success at the U.S. Air Force Academy. … Cadet Koonce was a remarkable leader and her loss is felt by her community in Texas and fellow USAFA Cadets," Sessions added.

Doesn't that mean she just started? Hardly long enough to say that she "was set"
If she was '28, then she had not only just started, she was likely still in 'Beast', the last part of the six week basic training all cadets get at a place called Jack's Valley. Once they're done there, they march back to the Academy and are accepted into the Cadet Wing.
The 19-year old was a record-breaking runner and competed with the Academy Track and Field team (not good if risk of myocarditis is elevated after the killer "vaccine").

Perhaps DM could explore the downside of legalizing psychedelic mushrooms?
Used to be Long's Peak was considered a tough hike. Chasm Lake itself is a slog is just to the base of The Diamond which an in-shape young male must leave before sunrise to make it back down by sunset - ask me how I know - ; and remember a few years back the special forces team which had to be medically extracted, to be fair that was a peak attempt, which is fair, it is a legitimate mountaineering attempt with all the variable risks as such.
OK, I understand that one could get a permit to hike up and set up a basecamp, and that photo is definitely above alpine...but did it move? Did it just stay there in a modified (Gymnastic) Iron Cross?
Now, it might be a pic from a different situation, but the lead picture has these two wearing...sandles.

[Breitbart] Under the watch of the Biden-Harris administration, a police officer in the United States has been shot every 22 hours this year, according to the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP). More than 260 law enforcement officers have been shot so far this year.
The War on Cops continues to rage in America,” FOP National Vice President Joe Gamaldi told Breitbart Texas. During the past two years, more than 630 law enforcement officers were shot. “We saw 378 officers shot last year, that is a 60 percent increase since 2018.”
“This year alone we have seen over 260 shot, and for reference that is one officer shot every 22 hours in America,” Gamaldi added.
The vice president of the national police union representing more than 377,000 law enforcement professionals told Breitbart that assaults on officers are also at a 10-year high.
“The causes are obvious,” Gamaldi stated, “a revolving door criminal justice system, 85 percent of cop killers have been arrested before, 71 percent are convicted felons, and because some politicians, media, and activists realized there was a dollar to be made trafficking in anti-police rhetoric, trying to convince the American public we are the enemy.”
Gamaldi expressed his frustration with the Biden-Harris administration’s lack of action or support. “To add insult to injury, we haven’t heard a peep from the Biden/Harris administration condemning this historic violence against law enforcement. The silence from the White House is deafening.”
“The brave men and women of law enforcement expect the leadership of this country to speak out against the violence, to not allow it to become the norm, and to support us,” Gamaldi continued. “So it was no surprise that the National FOP representing 378,000 police officers across this country endorsed Donald Trump for President of the United States…the true law and order candidate in the ballot.”

[Regnum] Egyptian archaeologists have discovered a bronze sword of Pharaoh Ramses II during excavations in the province of El-Buheira. This was reported by the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities of Egypt.
Did they get any fingerprints off the thing, or DNA?
“In addition to the set of archaeological finds… the expedition discovered a long bronze sword decorated with a cartouche (in this case, a graphic decoration with a name) of Pharaoh Ramses II,” says a statement published on the official website of the ministry.
Archaeologists also discovered a number of adobe structures, including military barracks, weapons depots, and food storage facilities. They were dated to the New Kingdom, the heyday of ancient Egyptian statehood (c. 1550–1100 BC).
The findings confirm the archaeological significance of El Abqain Fort, a military outpost on the country's northwestern border during the New Kingdom, said Mohammed Ismail Khaled, secretary general of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, in July, Spanish archaeologists discovered the remains of one of the most ancient archaic people in Europe, aged 850 thousand years, during excavations in the Gran Dolina mountain range in the Sierra de Atapuerca. Among the discovered fragments of skull bones, ribs and vertebrae, the researchers also found a tooth, which presumably belonged to a 25-year-old woman, whose remains were previously found in this region. 850 thousand years?

Regnum doesn't link to their sources unfortunately.
However a better report on the archaeological finds is available here at https://www.egyptindependent.com/archaeological-breakthrough-uncovers-sacred-sites-and-military-secrets/
and the Egyptian team does not claim the sword belongs to Ramses II, just that it has his symbols on it

[BBC] Venezuelan security forces have surrounded the Argentine embassy in the capital Caracas, which is sheltering six Venezuelan political figures opposed to President Nicolás Maduro.
Members of the Venezuelan opposition posted images and videos of officers from the country’s intelligence service forming a perimeter around the embassy complex.
Opposition figures inside the building said they were under "siege" by Mr Maduro's regime.
The embassy, as well as Argentine interests in Venezuela, have been represented by Brazil since diplomatic relations between Argentina and Venezuela broke down over the summer due to the outcome of Venezuela's presidential election.
On Saturday, the Venezuelan government revoked Brazil's custody of the embassy, it said, in an apparent attempt to remove its diplomatic protection.
Argentina is among several countries to have disputed the official results of the presidential election, which gave Mr Maduro a third term.
Pedro Urruchurtu Noselli, an adviser to opposition leader María Corina Machado, who has been at the embassy since March, wrote on X that as of Saturday morning, there was "an increasing presence of hooded officials.
"They have closed off vehicular traffic on the street. We are still without electricity."
Meanwhile Omar Gonzalez Moreno, another opposition official, said that the embassy had been without electricity since Friday evening.

[BREITBART] The retailer known as Big Lots is preparing to file for bankruptcy as other companies across the United States have recently done.
Individuals with knowledge of the situation said the discount home goods store may file as early as Sunday, Bloomberg reported on Friday, noting the company is planning to sell its stores through a court-supervised process.
The article continued:
The company will continue to operate under Chapter 11 protection, the people said, and is in the process of lining up a so-called stalking horse bid, meaning it's subject to better offers should any materialize. The company has been working with advisers from AlixPartners and Guggenheim Partners on the bankruptcy and sale process.
—
Big Lots, which has around 1,400 stores and employs over 30,000 people, has suffered from declining sales for years, including in recent quarters as rising inflation squeezed the wallets of its budget-conscious shoppers. Its share price has plunged to around $0.50, after peaking above $72 in 2021.
The news comes after the restaurant chain Red Lobster filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy followed by affordable gym chain Blink Fitness, and Rite Aid pharmacy closed all its stores in Michigan and Ohio amid that company's recent bankruptcy filings.
[POSTMILLENNIAL] American flooring company LL Flooring, previously known as Lumber Liquidators, has filed for bankruptcy and will be shuttering all of its 442 stores across 47 states. This, after being in business for the past three decades.
The retailer is one of the largest flooring companies in the US and is considered one of Home Depot's biggest rivals. Around 2,000 of its employees will now be without jobs.
The company informed customers about the bankruptcy in a letter sent on Wednesday, obtained by the Daily Mail.
"It is with a heavy heart that we must let you know that we are going to begin the process of winding down the business and closing all of our stores," LL Flooring said.
The company will now begin liquidating its inventory in order to close down its remaining stores. It had already shuttered 100 of its 442 stores to cut costs after being unable to obtain investors and find a buyer. The rest of the liquidations are scheduled to begin on Friday and will last for approximately 12 weeks.
[ABCnews] Germany's national rail company reported "massive" disruptions over parts of the country on Saturday, blaming a "technical disturbance" that was forcing many trains to wait at stations until the problem is cleared up.
An announcement on the Deutsche Bahn website said that "we are working on a fix at high speed."
Long-distance and local trains were completely halted in the area around Frankfurt in the southwest, Germany's ARD public television reported, saying that the fault was with a satellite radio communications system. ARD reports that this was specifically a malfunction in the GSM-R system, which was the target of a sabotage attack in 2022. The cause is still unclear.
[GEOTV] Schools were ordered shut from Saturday in the restive Indian state of Manipur after a rocket attack by turbans killed a civilian and maimed six others.
Fighting broke out in the northeastern state more than a year ago between the predominantly Hindu Meitei majority and the mainly Christian Kuki community.
This nonsense has been going on since May, 2023. I imagine Dron’s thoughts on the subject are somewhat pungent…
The conflict has simmered since then, splitting previously cohabitating communities along ethnic lines.
A local government notice said all schools in the state would be closed on Saturday, when classes are usually held, to protect the "safety of the students and teachers".
The day before, a rebel group had fired rockets in the state's Bishnupur district, an attack that local police attributed to "Kuki turbans".
It’s India. Not only Moslems, but Hindus, Christians, Sikhs, and everyone else wear turbans, too.
A police statement said a 78-year-old man was killed in the barrage and six people were maimed.
Officers responding to the attack "were fired upon by suspected Kuki forces of Evil but the police team retaliated robustly and repelled the attack", the statement said.
Local media reports said the elderly man was killed when a rocket hit the residence of the late Mairenbam Koireng Singh, a former chief minister of Manipur.
The Indian Express newspaper, citing an unnamed security source, said that the rockets appeared to be "improvised projectiles" made using "galvanised iron pipes attached to explosives".
Friday's attack came days after turbans used drones to drop explosives in what police called a "significant escalation" of violence in the state.
A 31-year-old woman was killed and six people were maimed in that incident, which police described as an "unprecedented attack" by rebels.
Longstanding tensions between the Meitei and Kuki communities revolve around competition for land and public jobs, with rights activists accusing local leaders of exacerbating ethnic divisions for political gain.
