-Caveat Lector- Readers may notice inconsistencies between reports, including mine,
regarding how many boys arrested, how many weapons in bathroom
stall, how many weapons elsewhere in bathroom, how many weapons
with boy when arrested, how many weapons carried in hall by boy,
which boy was in the bathroom, where was the second boy throughout.
In any case I think Mr. Addington the assistant principal deserves
some honor and gratitude. Maybe Mr. Bixby the principal only
screamed because the student in his office pointed his rifle at
someone other than Mr. Bixby--syndicate it that way for now.

Second Child Charged in Gun Incident at Va. School
Student Was Involved in Planning Before Backing Out, Police SayBy Ian Shapira
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, June 21, 2004; 5:27 PM
A second student has been charged in Friday's incident at Bull Run Middle School in which a 12-year-old boy sneaked two rifles and a shotgun into the boy's bathroom, police said today.
A 13-year-old boy from Haymarket was charged with conspiracy to possess firearms on school property, police said. He was involved with the planning of the incident, but backed out at the last minute, they said. Juvenile intake officers released him to his parents and a court date has not yet been set.
Claiborne T. Richardson II, assistant commonwealth's attorney, who is prosecuting the case, said a Manassas defense attorney, Marjorie Alexander, has been appointed to represent the boy. Contacted early this afternoon, Alexander declined to comment, saying she had not been formally notified of her appointment.Meanwhile, the boy's mother will appear in court Tuesday morning at 8:30.
Law enforcement authorities said other arrests are pending. According to police search warrants filed this morning, the 12-year-old boy was planning with "several others a violent takeover" of the school. Police said Friday the boy was looking to take hostages to extort money, in addition to hurting people who had teased him.

GAINESVILLE, Va. (AP) - Police held two students Friday after authorities said guns were brought into a Prince William County middle school. "There was more than one weapon involved. One of the weapons - at least one - was a long gun," said Prince William Police Chief Charlie T. Deane. No shots were fired and no one was hurt. The trouble began on the last day of classes at Bull Run Middle School, about 35 miles west of Washington, D.C. "An assistant principal was making routine rounds" when he stopped in a bathroom. "The assistant principal's very tall, and he looked over the stall and he observed ... a weapon," Deane said. "Subsequently, other weapons were found in that general area." The assistant principal left the bathroom, called police, and began what Deane described as "a very methodical evacuation" of the building. "Officers arrived, they took an individual into custody, the young man who was armed at the time. We have recovered weapons - more than one weapon - from the school," Deane said. Police believe at least one student - a 12-year-old - brought the guns. It was not immediately clear what role - if any - the second student in custody played. A SWAT team was conducting a room by room search

"A 13-year-old boy also was charged"
Report: Boy Pointed Rifle at People in School Office
Tuesday June 22, 2004 2:40pm
Manassas (AP) - A 12-year-old boy charged with bringing loaded guns into a Prince William County middle school walked into the main office with a red bandanna covering his face, pointed a rifle at employees, students and parents and ordered them to "get down," according to a published report Tuesday.
Everyone in the office complied, and the boy said he did not want to hurt anyone, witnesses and sources told The Washington Post.
The Bull Run Middle School seventh-grader was ordered held without bail after his first appearance Monday in Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court, prosecutors said. The hearing was closed to the public because of the boy's age. His trial was set for July 6.
According to an affidavit to support a search warrant, filed in Prince William Circuit Court, the 12-year-old was planning with "several others a violent takeover" of the school and had researched the 1999 shootings at Columbine High School in Colorado for a class report.
"We don't know where it would have gone, but all indications are that this was an extremely dangerous situation and could have cost several lives," said Commonwealth's Attorney Paul B. Ebert.
The boy's plan was thwarted when school officials locked down the building and police stormed it under a countywide plan developed after the deadly Columbine shootings.
Law enforcement sources said the student roamed parts of the school with a loaded rifle before police rushed the building. The newspaper did not name its sources.
The boy's mother, Naomi Lewis, 38, a cafeteria worker at the school, was charged with possession of a weapon on a school property. Police said Lewis drove her son to school Friday, saw several guns in the van and did not report that they were there.
Her son later retrieved the guns with a key to the van that his mother did not know he had, police said. She did not know of his plot, police said.
A 13-year-old boy also was charged Monday with conspiracy to possess firearms on school property. He was released to his parents, and a court date has not been set.

Last Friday was the last day of school for him. He
spent the day in a nearby housing development. It
seems that two boys were copying Columbine at
the school, Bull Run Middle school, about twenty
miles west of DC.
Webfairy and Eastman may assert that there
were no bullets because the father of one of these
Columbine copycats worked at Mitre Corp.
In fact no shots were fired. The father of one of
the two Columbine copycats verbally abuses his
son, if my sources are correct, which may explain
why his son reacted so strongly to verbal taunts and
abuse at school. He was somehow sensitized to
perceive the cruel moronic patter of his schoolmates
as over his threshold for abuse. Profile that.
"his older brother, who is an Eagle Scout. His father, who
works for Mitre Corp., is a scout leader...on the board of
the homeowner's association"
The homeowner's association, that's the link, they have
no regard for individual rights.
I happened by a meeting of twenty policemen
in a parking lot, then saw a roadblock, then saw an
unmarked SWAT truck drive by. I deduced that a
bomb scare or hostage situation must be going on.
The school was the most likely site. I called my CIA
drugs refugee on his cell phone, and he told me he had
been evacuated to a "safe" house near the school. I kept
in touch with him and another student by cell phones for
the next few hours.
As I drove around the perimeter, about a mile out,
I was informed by a neighbor where to park to bypass
police roadblocks and reach my CIA drugs refugee if
I so desired. Since I was in contact by cell phone I
opted for picking him up later after his group
was bussed to the central location from which the
students were released to parents--Tyler Elementary.
I suffered extreme sunburn to my scalp, due to
thinning hair, while waiting at Tyler. My sunburn
would have been worse if not for kid cell phones.
One of the two boys arrested was able to carry two
rifles and a shotgun into school about 8:30am by
concealing them in a folding lawnchair carry bag.
He told his mother that the "chair" was for "field
day". She works in the cafeteria line.
One of the boys walked the halls with a .30-'06
rifle, then entered the office and pointed his rifle
at people. Someone turned on the PA system and
everyone in school heard what he said to those
in the office, and they heard the principal scream.
It is a major point whether the boy with the rifle
in the office told someone to turn on the PA system
to terrorize students and teachers in all the classrooms,
or if that was done without his knowledge for whatever
reason.
Near the office the assistant principal, Mr. Addington,
recognized a familiar "lock and load" sound when he went
into the bathroom. In a stall he found a boy with a .22
caliber rifle and a .410 shotgun. Mr. Addington was able
to neutralize that threat.
At some point students were told to lie down in
classrooms, doors locked, lights off.
A Prince William county police officer is assigned
to the school, has an office there, but Officer Montgomery
was apparently not there that day. It was the last day of
school, and who would expect such ingratitude from
students?
Police arrived in ten minutes after a phone call. They
walked up behind the one remaining armed student
while he was talking to the heroic assistant principal,
Mr. Addington. Mr. Addington stepped back and the
student obeyed police who told him to surrender his
father's .30-'06 high-powered rifle. Later police picked
up three dozen other assorted firearms at their home.
The mother was arrested because she had seen the
three long guns in her van in the school parking lot
and merely locked her van, thus breaking the law
against having firearms on school property. Her
son had a key when he went back to the van at 8:30
to get his weapons.

Armed Boy, 12, Arrested in Va. School Plot
Student Planned Attack, Police SayBy Christina A. Samuels and Josh White
Washington Post Staff Writers
Saturday, June 19, 2004; Page A01
A 12-year-old boy plotting to frighten or even kill students who had teased him and then hold hostages to extort money was arrested yesterday morning at a Prince William County middle school after an administrator found him with a loaded rifle and two other guns, police said.
The seventh-grader was arrested in full camouflage gear on the last day of school after officials at Bull Run Middle School locked down the building and police stormed it under a plan developed after the shootings at Colorado's Columbine High School in 1999.
Police also arrested the boy's mother, Naomi Lewis, 38, a cafeteria worker at the school in the county's Gainesville section, and charged her with possession of a weapon on school property, law enforcement sources said. The boy had gotten a ride to school with his mother and left the guns in her car. Lewis noticed the guns and locked the car but never reported that they were there, police said in a statement. The boy later went back with a car key and retrieved the guns, police said.
Lewis did not know her son had a key and did not know of the plot, sources said. The guns belonged to the family, and neighbors said police removed about 20 additional weapons from the home on Brave Court in Haymarket.
Police Chief Charlie T. Deane said detectives believe that the boy wanted to scare or hurt other students and that he also was planning to take hostages.
"Some information leads us to believe there could have been a hostage situation with demands for money," Deane said. "It's still early, and we just don't know the extent of it yet."
Detectives were questioning about 10 students who learned of the student's plan in recent days but either did not take him seriously or did not believe he would go through with it. Deane said police are also investigating whether some students had agreed to take part in the plan and whether others "were going to do it and then changed their mind."
No shots were fired, and the student never pointed a gun at anyone during his apprehension, police said. It is unclear whether the student pointed the gun before police arrived. When he was arrested, he was talking to a school administrator and carrying a loaded .30-06 rifle. Police also found a .410-gauge shotgun and a .22-caliber rifle in a bathroom, where the boy was initially spotted.
As police charged the school, the 1,100 students inside the two-year-old building were locked in their darkened classrooms. After police went room to room searching for weapons, the students were taken to nearby Tyler Elementary School, where shaken parents arrived throughout the late morning and early afternoon to pick them up.
"You hear all this stuff, and you never think it'll be you," said Jane Buchanan, mother of a seventh-grader.
Her son Taylor Buchanan, 13, said: "I thought that we would sign yearbooks and say goodbye and that's it. I didn't get to do either."
Deane and law enforcement sources said the incident began about 8:30 a.m., when the student sneaked out of the building and to his mother's car to retrieve the guns. He went first to a bathroom, and as he popped a cartridge into the .30-06 rifle, an assistant principal on routine rounds heard the unmistakable sound of a gun being loaded. The administrator called police, and the school system and police department immediately implemented the county's school violence response plan, put into place after the Columbine shootings.
Officer Bryan Nevitt arrived first with a team of others. He said he looked through a window and spotted the student holding a rifle and speaking to the assistant principal. Nevitt and his team entered the building and caught the administrator's attention. The administrator moved away, and the officers challenged the boy. He complied with their orders and was immediately arrested.
Under the response plan, officers quickly formed a search team, entered the school and began separating possible shooters from possible victims by isolating the armed student and locking down the rest of the school. Police in Colorado were criticized for cordoning off the school and waiting for reinforcements as children inside were being shot.
After cornering the seventh-grader, the teams then went room to room and did not let any students leave until police were certain there were no other weapons. Prince William police trained for months in 2000 for just such an event. Also, every year, each county school goes through a lockdown drill.
Principal William Bixby said all teachers and staff members locked their doors, turned off their lights and got everyone on the floor. Some students were caught between classes. Sarah Ruppert said she was walking to the library with a classmate on an errand for her teacher. She knocked on the locked door and was grabbed by the school's librarian, who told them to run to a back room.
"They were saying, 'Run to the back, run to the back,' " Sarah said. "That's when I saw [the student] outside the library, wearing Army fatigues and a red bandanna." He was also carrying "a big huge rifle," she said.
Most students were escorted from the school before they could gather their belongings to take home for the summer. School officials said students would be allowed in today and Monday and also would be provided counseling. The suspect is a member of a Boy Scout troop, a neighbor said, as is his older brother, who is an Eagle Scout. His father, who works for Mitre Corp., is a scout leader.
The student, a shy, slightly overweight boy who got good grades and liked to play video games, was "the last person you would ever imagine doing something like this," said Rebecca Bare, a neighbor. She is on the board of a homeowners association with the suspect's father.
"He's the one kid you would never have a problem with; the nicest kid in the neighborhood. He would say, 'No, sir' and 'Yes, ma'am,' " she said.
But the student had been hatching a plan, said a woman whose son is close friends with him.
"He said he wanted to take over the school, and he was trying to get other kids to help him," said the mother, who spoke on condition of anonymity because her son was one of several boys he approached. "He'd been talking about it all year."
She said the student told the other boys he was preparing a list of demands that "included a helicopter. He was so imaginative that no one took him seriously, because it sounded like a movie," the mother said. "They thought it was some kid spouting off." The woman's son added, "Most people just kind of ignored it."
Several police cars and a crime scene unit van were parked outside the family's two-level, cream-colored townhouse in Haymarket yesterday afternoon. Detectives were inside and at one point were seen carting out computers and other materials, including bags of guns, neighbors said. No one answered the door at the townhouse.
The boy has been charged with possession of a firearm on school property, possession of a firearm by a minor, use of a firearm in commission of a felony, conspiracy to commit abduction for money and conspiracy to commit murder. He is being held without bond at the Juvenile Detention Home. His mother was being held on $5,000 bond.
Some students said the boy was picked on because of his glasses and clothes and for other reasons.
