There was a bit more detail on WDBJ7's website. Doesn't really sound


all that nefarious. He was keeping a few rifles in the designated gun locker for students, checking them in and out, and going to the Jefferson Nat'l Forest gun range to shoot.

With over 20K students, I'd be willing to bet there are a few hundred more of them doing the same thing.

Only real problem was his citizen/visa status made it illegal. No evidence at all so far that anything was being planned. The only other curious items mentioned were that he owned a retired police cruiser and had researched bulletproof vests. But for those who are firearm enthusiasts, those aren't all that unusual either.

Unless more information comes out, I don't see anything suggesting a disaster was i9n the works (and thus was avoided). Looks more like a case of a foreign student becoming a firearms enthusiast, but didn't have his paperwork in line...which made his actions a felony.
