Fortunately this story is not big national news, because the gun owner did not have an opportunity to follow through with his threat to shoot kids.
A New Richmond-area teenager who carried an AR-15 rifle in his car raised concerns among coworkers after saying he was going "to shoot kids,"
A clearly troubled 18-year-old owned an AR-15, some other guns, and thousands of rounds of ammunition.
According to a criminal complaint:
….
The official said he'd learned from employees that Cherrier had made threats of violence, kept an assault rifle in the trunk of his car and discussed "purchasing armor piercing ammo, and a bullet proof vest, to shoot a bunch of kids," the complaint states.
He’s being charged with making “terroristic threats”.
And as for his political leanings?
Deputies found several "Don't Tread on Me" flags on the walls of Cherrier's room
