BOLO for "Woman infatuated with Columbine"

I think LEO and school officials are correct to be concerned, and increased APPROPRIATE security measures are warranted (lockout, perhaps indoor recess/lunch, increased LEO presence at arrival/dismissal, etc). However, closing every school (for how many days????) on the Front Range is excessive to the threat and sets a bad precedent for future issues.

It does seem drastic. Of course it's a catch 22 because if they round her up and nothing happens, then everything was way overblown. But if she slips through the cracks and tries something, even if no one ultimately gets hurt, then everyone will be saying that they didn't do enough.

If that is all it is, this response is entirely and disproportionately overblown without a single threat made. All our schools would probably be closed about 60+% of the time otherwise. And if the same standard is applied, POTUS could never leave a bunker. We'd all have to stay at home year round fearing an ICBM at any time. etc., etc.

I think OxArt and I were having a mind meld while typing.

I posted earlier that I was glad they closed schools, but after thinking on it a bit, I'm more on board with your suggestion. According to my wife, when she went to pick my son up yesterday, there were 2 uniformed Littleton police officers at the main door, and two unmarked police cruisers in the entrances to the parking lot, I feel pretty comfortable with that, and the children still make it to school.

On a side note, I heard a couple ignorant/misinformed gentlemen in the locker room this morning, who were under the impression that all schools had an armed resource officer assigned to them. I haven't seen anything other than LPS security in the parking lots of my children's schools.

(BOLDED BY ME)

The ?contiguous state? provisions of the Gun Control Act
(GCA) generally permit unlicensed purchasers to acquire
long guns from Federal firearms licensees (FFLs) located in a
State contiguous to the State in which the purchaser resides if
(1) the purchaser?s State of residence permitted such sale and
(2) the sale fully complied with the legal conditions of sale in
both such contiguous states.
This provision of the GCA was amended in 1986 to allow
FFLs to sell or dispose of long guns to residents of any other
state (not just contiguous states) provided:
1. the transferee meets in person with the FFL to
accomplish the transfer; and
2. the sale, delivery and receipt fully comply with the legal
conditions of sale in the buyer?s and seller?s States.
A number of States patterned their laws after the original
provision of the GCA that allows nonresidents to purchase
long guns from FFLs only in contiguous states. Many of
those States have not revised their laws to reflect the 1986
amendments to the GCA that allow over-the-counter sales
of long guns to residents of any State, as outlined above.
This has caused confusion among FFLs, who often read such
?contiguous state? State laws as prohibiting sales to residents
of noncontiguous states.
ATF does not read State laws that refer to ?contiguous
states? as prohibiting sales of long guns to residents of
noncontiguous states unless the language contained in that
State?s law expressly prohibits residents from acquiring firearms outside that State. Thus, if the language in the State
laws authorizes sales of long guns to residents of contiguous
states, that State law also authorizes the sale of long guns to
residents of all other states.

So, what website was this that she was a part of? Screen grab from the Heavy article indicates it is not this one.

My son's school in westminster has 1 resource officer that shares his time between 2 schools. He is at one of the schools all day. Alternates days. He is a Westminster police officer. The schools are 5 minutes away from each other. I'm not a security logistics expert, but I feel that a Police officer, sheriff, armed security at each entry would have been a great security measure rather than shutting down schools. I'm basing this on the fact they are looking for 1 gal with a shotgun. Of course, maybe they know more than they are letting out there. The security at the doors would also show that they are prepared for a situation.

Just saw on the news she is dead, of course we know how accurate the news is.
