Florida Crazy Stymied Before Campus Massacre

[Circe]

3/19 Orlando, Florida (CNN) -- A former University of Central Florida student found dead in his dorm room of an apparent suicide, alongside weapons and a backpack of bombs, planned a larger attack, officials said Monday.

School spokesman Grant Heston identified the student as 30-year-old James Oliver Seevakumaran.

He was at the university from fall 2010 through fall 2012 but was not enrolled for the spring semester and was in the process of being removed from the dorm room where he lived.

"While the crime scene processing was under way in that room, we found some notes and some writings that indicated that this was a planned attack," UCF Police Chief Richard Beary told reporters.


He said Seevakumaran's plan appeared to be set in motion as early as February, when weapons and ammunition purchases were made. Seevakumaran developed an outline for the attack, but that never came to fruition, thanks in part to the rapid response of law enforcement, Beary said.

The chief told CNN's Erin Burnett that he believes Seevakumaran built the bombs himself, but authorities were still trying to figure out how Seevakumaran was going to carry out his plan and whom he was going to target.

"It wasn't exactly clear what the attack was going to consist of. However, he did have a time line of how he was getting ready and preparing and then in the end, he would just 'give them hell' is the quote that he used," Beary told CNN.

When police entered the dorm room, they found Seevakumaran dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, a handgun, an assault weapon, a couple hundred rounds of ammunition and four homemade bombs in a backpack.

An Orange County Sheriff's bomb squad team examined the explosives and rendered them harmless. Federal agents have joined the investigation, and the bombs were sent to an FBI lab to determine what materials were used.

It all started around 12:20 a.m., when a fire alarm went off at the Tower 1 dormitory. Beary told CNN that Seevakumaran pulled the fire alarm, perhaps to draw many people out into the open.

Police believe that Seevakumaran then went to his room to pick up the weapons.

There, he encountered one of his roommates, who told police that Seevakumaran pointed a weapon at him. The roommate ran into a bathroom and called 911.

Officers arrived within minutes to rescue the roommate. They found Seevakumaran's body in his bedroom.

Beary said police are still investigating to find out "what made him tick," but early indications were that Seevakumaran had very few friends and had anger issues.

This guy had an assault rifle, OF COURSE, the sexy glamour weapon for assaulting large numbers of people gathered outside in a bunch after a fire alarm was set off by the would-be killer.

Don't you gun guys accept any responsibility for your publicizing and promoting of these mass-killer weapons? These weapons are designed to kill lots of people. That's how the crazies are using them. This is the fault of the gun nuts. These aren't home defense weapons, these are for massacres and all the crazies know it!

You could stop this if you went back to normal home defense, not these huge collections of assault weapons meant to stop a platoon of enemies. Disclaim the assault weapons on the grounds that killing large numbers of people at one time is not something decent Americans are in favor of doing. Now, all you do is root for the killers.

This guy had an assault rifle

He did not.
He had a semi-automatic .22 rimfire rifle.
That's not even an 'assault weapon'.

Don't you gun guys accept any responsibility for your publicizing and promoting of these mass-killer weapons? These weapons are designed to kill lots of people.

This statement is false - the only question is if you made this false statement intentionally, or because you do not know any better.

That's how the crazies are using them. This is the fault of the gun nuts.

This is slander. Reported.

Now, all you do is root for the killers.

More slander.

omg, I suppose you hold Hollywood responsible for publicizing and promoting these mass killer weapons, and video games, comic books, etc etc
we should certainly ban all that too..In fact we should hold a huge movie cds, video games, comic books burning in the public square

The crazy had meticulous written plans for his massacre. He had an assault rifle, a handgun, and OF COURSE a high-capacity magazine and plenty of ammo. The psychos do love their video-game guns. He planned to get everyone out into the halls with the fire alarm he had already pulled and then mow them down with the assault rifle, police are saying.

Of course, that's his constitutional right, I'm sure conservatives agree.

What an amazing contradiction. An assault rifle went to a huge collection of assault rifles in the same paragraph. The true culprit for crazy copy cat killers is the anti gun crowd grand standing their gun confiscation agenda on the bodies of dead children. Well they go after Law abiding citizen's guns, the crazy people (who are actually the ones the gun grabbers should be going after) are seeing an opportunity to go down having their name remembered. You could stop this Circe if you idiots went after the mentally ill, instead of concentrating your anti gun efforts on Law abiding citizens.

And attacking the Freedoms of Law abiding gun owners would have stopped this how exactly?

It's rather cute how you repeat this, intentionally oblivious to the fact that it has been proven untrue.

Let me answer that, gladly ----

You guys jettison the assault rifles and high-capacity magazines: that's what the video-game killers are using by preference for their massacres. Make a big statement that these weapons are not needed in America and no one should have them!

What's going on now is a huge statement by all you model figures for the male crazies that this is EXACTLY the weapons they should be using when they mow down their fellow students. And the more they carry the better! That's why all the killers are weighted down by iron and lead when they go on their spree.

Some strong statements that you don't like people using guns to kill lots of Americans, not just statements that everyone has a constitutional right to stockpile gazillions of them, for whatever murderous purpose may come into their tiny heads.

Great idea, tjvh, but how??? NOT ONE SINGLE ONE of these guys (well, maybe Holmes, a little, he saw a psychologist a time or two) had ANY run-ins with the law, with mental health professionals, with anything that suggested he was a mental case!! They could buy guns because they were not illegal!

Lanza was totally clean, and so was this Florida guy with the creepy long name. They are crazy as hoot owls, but nobody knows it.

We could use a little help here from you gun guys. They are modeling on you, and this is not working out well.

Not a single crime has been comitted by a legally-owned assault rifle.
Not a single one.
Given that, there's no rational reason to "give them up".

 

[Stephanie]

don't you all just love being tried and convicted for someone else's crime and actions

so because of that all of us should give up our rights to freedom

To be sure, it's a thoughtless response to the supposed problem.

A little help? I'm not here to tell you how the gun grabbing crowd crowd should go after the mentally ill, I'm here to tell you that the irrationality of the gun grabbing crowd attacking the Freedoms of Law abiding citizens will not stop crazy people from doing what crazy people do.

Why should I surrender my personal property which I paid for and enjoy. You actually believe your irrational fears of the mentally ill with guns will be diminished because Law abiding citizens like myself surrendered their personal property? That's just crazy.
