San Antonio Madison High School lockdown lifted, armed student arrested
SAN ANTONIO — Police took a Madison High School student into custody Monday morning after weapons were found in his backpack.
By noon, the lockdown had been lifted.
The male student, 17, had three loaded guns and a 12-inch knife, said Aubrey Chancellor, a spokeswoman for North East Independent School District. One of the guns was an AK-47, one was a 45-millimeter and one was a .22 cailber, Chancellor said. The student had additional magazines in his backpack, she added.
It is unknown whether he was planning a mass shooting, but Chancellor said he told district police that he intended to make some demands over the intercom system, although she did not know what those were. He told authorities that “if the demands were not met, he had planned on committing violence,” Chancellor said. She did not know whether he had a history of violence or mental health issues.

That's why he needed the intercom system:
"Will all students planning to shoot up the school report to the office immediately?"
They show up - blam! problems solved!
At least that's what the gun, uh, fans would claim, I swear!
