Former UCF student who killed himself had planned wider attack

[mfcorey1]

The former University of Central Florida student who killed himself in a dorm room early Monday had planned to kill others but apparently changed his mind and took only his own life, police said.

The deceased, identified as James Oliver Seevakumaran, 30, was found in his dorm room in Tower 1, a seven-story structure near the UCF Arena.

UCF Police Chief Richard Beary said writings found in the student's room indicated "there was a planned attack."

Officers found an assault weapon, a handgun, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, and, in a backpack, handmade explosives when they searched the man's room. The assault rifle had a magazine capable of holding 28 bullets, officials said.

"It could have been a very bad day for everyone here," Beary said. "Let's just face it: One shooting is bad enough. Multiples is unthinkable."

1. Thank you for the change of heart

Glad no one else had to suffer for your fuckedupedness. The Universe thanks you, as do the families of your non victims.


I hope the MSM publishes his writings and screeds. Then maybe other possible killers will just leave notes and kill themselves instead of others.

2. My good money is on that he was able to obtain those guns legally and easily.

Maybe I'm wrong, but sounds a lot like Cho and Virginia Tech to me. Or Loughner. Or Holmes.

It's tragic that the man 's life was allowed to deteroriate to that fatal end, but glad that no one else ultimately paid the price.
