The University of Central Florida student who planned to massacre his fellow students had ordered more than $700 worth of weapons online, including two packages of ammunition, gun shooting DVDs, and accessories for his weapons that arrived on campus after the attack had already been thwarted. The packages contained even more ammunition for the attack that former UCF student James Oliver Seevakumaran, 30, planned to carry out Monday morning shortly after midnight. He already had a handgun, assault rifle, high capacity magazines, and four homemade bombs he hoped to use on fellow students after pulling the fire alarm and forcing them into the crowded hallways, according to police. The last item on the list was "give 'em hell," but Seevakumaran killed himself before killing any fellow students, Beary said. According to cops, the former business student pulled the fire alarm shortly after midnight, causing campus police to respond to the Tower 1 residence hall. He then returned to his apartment, where he pointed a rifle at roommate Arabo Babakhani.
UCF is fortunate this did not turn out to be anything severe. The impact another mass shooting could have on the public eye is tremendous. It would have been the worst shooting ever. 500 kids, all tired and exhausted, standing out in the dark. Probable death toll, in my opinion, would have been 200 at most.
