TheTrenchcoat Chronicles

Meinberg was one of 13 church members at the Evanswood Church of God named on an e-mailed "hit" list from an anonymous parishioner who called himself "Holiness Prophetess." Meinberg said she now believes Yaryan was intentionally trying to upset her in order to complicate her health before a surgical procedure. Yaryan even reported the e-mail threats to police.

"He was the beneficiary on my insurance and stood to get everything in the event of my death," Meinberg told the court. "At one point he approached me and asked, 'If you die, do I get Winston?' At first I thought he was kidding -- trying to cheer me up -- but he wasn't. Winston was our lovebird."

When asked by the judge if he had anything to say, Yaryan responded calmly and wearily:

"What I did was very wrong. I'm truly sorry for creating fear, and there is no excuse for it. In May, a jury reached a verdict, and I accept that verdict."

''I feel there is no choice out of this other than what Cho did,'' police say Wong wrote under the online moniker ''thehumanabc.'' Police believe he was referring to last year's massacre at Virginia Tech University, when Cho Seung-Hui killed 32 students and then himself.

Among the statements made by ''thehumanabc'' between 2:48 a.m. and 2:54 a.m, on March 25: ''I'm soon to the point to reenact the whole event.'' Then, ''This may not seem to be a threat to you but I'm sure others don't want to see it occur again.'' And, ``you should never make fun of anyone just because they are different than you.''

The comments prompted this response from a person posting on the site: ``I have reported you to local authorities in your area and I am blocking you. please don't contact me again. I will post our conversations on all forums. you will be banned from all sites. END OF DISCUSSION!!!.''

''thehumanabc'' laughed. ''Lol,'' he wrote.

Reached Thursday at China King, his family's restaurant in Homestead, Wong would only say, ``I'm good. I have nothing to say about it.''

According to the arrest affidavit, three Homestead police officers went to Wong's home where he lives with his parents in the city's Lakeshore community.

The officers said they found an apartment with weapons on the wall, on the floor and on tabletops including four AK-47s, two sniper rifles, seven semiautomatic pistols and more than 5,000 rounds of ammunition.

Police say Wong's parents didn't seem fazed by the stockpile. After Wong admitted making the statements on the Internet -- and several others over a 20-month period -- he was arrested.

Wong's father, Sam Wong, said his son ''was going to kill people,'' Homestead Det. Antonio Aquino recounted.

“Beware All Those Who Cross My Path. On March 19, 2008, THE END IS HERE,” the homemade video, posted Feb. 27, warns students.

The video — which was still posted on the Internet Monday — is a message scrawled in red lettering against a black background and plays to the words of “End,” a World Wrestling Entertainment theme song.

“The end is here/ The game is over/ No more pretending,” the lyrics state.

In the video, which Brown addresses to the students of Grasso Tech, he writes, “The Corpses Crimson Bitter Tears Will Flow And Mingle Through The Endless Sand Feeding The Chaos In Me and Making Me Stronger.”

The quote is taken from a fictional anime series about a character named Gaara who, according to several fan sites, claims only to feel alive when he kills.

Megan dated Lindbloom for two weeks last year when she broke up with him. On Wednesday night, however, she called him after he left a message on her cell phone.

During that phone conversation Lindbloom told her, "People need to watch their backs because something bad is going to happen to the school," according to court papers.

Police said Lindbloom told her he planned to shoot Assistant Principal Gary Dempsy, student Skylar C., teachers and staff, Naval Junior ROTC Commander Ed Hafner, Officer Branch and Megan.

When Megan asked if he didn't care about ruining his life, Lindbloom told her, "I don't care. You won't go out with me. You and nobody else will go out with me."

"So you are just going to shoot everybody?" she asked. Lindbloom, police said, told her yes and that she would be next to the last to be shot. He would be the last.

He was accused of disrupting a class, saying he "was going to be like that Chinese kid and kill everyone at school."

Erikka Eveland of Corvallis, also a Linn-Benton student, told police she met Cannon a few months ago through the MySpace online social network and he told her a month ago that he was a Samurai warrior.

Two weeks ago, she said, he told her he thought the April 20, 1999, shooting massacre at Columbine High School in Colorado was "cool." Two Columbine students gunned down 12 other students and a teacher and wounded 23 others before committing suicide.

Eveland said that Cannon told her he'd bought the rifle, but he said he hadn't figured out a good way to get it onto the bus that he rode to campus, according to police reports.

Gauchel is accused of sending “threatening, intimidating and retaliation-type messages” to Kate Battan, an investigator with the Jefferson County sheriff's office in Golden, Colo., Newark Police Capt. Al Zellner said yesterday.

Gauchel did not know Battan but apparently was familiar with her role in investigating the massacre in Littleton, Colo., on April 20, 1999.
