36. What's even weirder (to me) is that no administrator's names are ever mentioned.

Every article I've read just says "an administrator" or "administrators" was/were told about the gun. That's very vague.

Also, if concerns about this kid having a gun were reported to "administrators" multiple times, it sounds like more than one person was involved. Why all the secrecy about the multiple people who evidently received these reports?

If the police are withholding the identity/ies of the administrator(s) involved and even their job title(s) due to concerns for their personal safety, I think they should say so. Treating such key information like a closely guarded secret with no explanation isn't a good look.
