Authorities in Michigan said this week that a student who brought a gun to school also had a list of names of students who he wanted to harm.
A student informed a teacher at Kingsley Middle School Student that the student had brought the gun to school on Monday, The Traverse City Record-Eagle reported.
The teacher notified Principle Vaughn White, who immediately contacted the school resource officer, and removed the student from the classroom. During a search of the child, a .25-caliber handgun was found in his waistband. A single round was in the chamber, but it was the wrong size.
The gun was thought to belong to his grandfather, and was not thought to be operational.
“Obviously the child made a poor judgement call,” Kingsley Area Schools Superintendent Keith Smith said at the time. “The reality is the kid had a gun with a bullet in the chamber in a school, and that’s not OK.”

that opens the question as to how he had access to the gun and a bullet surely the grandfather didn't put the wrong size bullet in the chamber and does that suggest the presence of another gun or was the school lying to lessen the severity of the incident?

The case took a turn on Wednesday when a teacher found a list of names on the back of one the student’s homework assignments, according to the Record-Eagle. Authorities said that it was clear from the title of the document that the student intended to hurt the other children who were on the list.
School officials said that they were not able to notify all of the students on the list because only first names were used, and many of the names were misspelled.
teacher says it's clear from title of list the boys intent to harm cops say he said we wasn't though never saying what the title was the all seem to want to focus on punishing the boy not a word about the parental responsibility, bringing a gun loaded or not deserves board action but that to was not an issue, this is beginning to sound like an excuse those killer cops have been coming up with lately.
