You know, in the thread on Virginia Tech, people were complaining that the guy obviously showed signs of trouble and needed help yet the signs were ignored, or we didn't do enough about them. Yet here in this thread, this kid has done something that can be considered a serious sign, and you all think we should lay off him. Which do you want? Do we, or do we not take the signs that someone might be plotting to kill kids in a school seriously?

I gotta agree with this.
I'm not much of a worry wart, but I do think that using your present high school for an FPS game is something that needs to be checked out.
To me, this is the same kind of thing as saying 'Bomb' or 'hijack' when you're in line at the airport. You may not have malicious intentions, but the authorities need to take it seriously nonetheless.
