"Patriots' Julian Edelman May Have Thwarted a School Shooting":

----

The New England Patriots receiver Julian Edelman was in Texas visiting his former teammate Danny Amendola late last month when he received a direct message on his Instagram account: “Dude, there is a kid in your comment section says he s going to shoot up a school, i think you should alert the authority.”

Edelman instantly thought of the mass shooting about five weeks earlier in Parkland, Fla., in which 17 people were killed. “With the emotions of what happened, and I have a kid now, I said, holy Toledo, what is going on?” Edelman said in an interview this week.

He quickly notified his assistant in Boston, Shannen Moen, who looked through the hundreds of comments that followed Edelman’s most recent post on Instagram. She found the alarming message: “I’m going to shoot my school up watch the news.”

Moen called 911, and a police officer soon arrived. The officer saw the screen shot, then called her chief, who sent two detectives to Moen’s house. The detectives collected some information about the person who posted the threat. They then returned to their office, where they made an emergency records request for account information, which allowed them to determine the sender’s email and IP address, which was traced to Port Huron, Mich.

The detectives called police in Michigan, who immediately drove to the house where the threatening message originated. When the police arrived at the address, they found a 14-year-old boy, who, they said, admitted to posting the threat. They also found two rifles that belonged to his mother, according to Capt. Joseph Platzer of the Port Huron Police Department.

Most of these threats are just trolling, but some of them are presumably quite real. Good on Edelman for being proactive and not taking chances.

Oh I agree whole heartedly.

And as much as I like Edleman, there may be sharper butter knives in the drawer, especially post Kam Chancellor a few years back. So good he ran the right route this time.

Problem is though, it opens the door now for every Tom, Dick and Chet to do likewise....

LOL how Edelman is getting the credit for this. The media loves the celebs. His assistant did the work. Edelman was notified by someone else. He really did nothing but pass it off to someone else. So of the 3 people involved before police, he did the least and gets the headline.

I don't recall the report saying the guns weren't locked up. All it said as that the police found guns. Maybe they found them in a gun safe that they asked to be unlocked. Don't make dumbass assumptions without the facts.
