- A 15-year-old Bountiful, Utah student is accused of bringing his parents' guns to his junior high school Dec. 1 and firing into a ceiling before the parents arrive to stop him. Bodycam from a responding officer shows the moments after the incident.
I can't imagine how heartbroken his parents were when they were finding weapons in his bag
i think they were happy to find the missing guns. they are not cheap after all.
Kids life over in the blink of an eye
imagine how the they felt when they looked where they knew the guns where and found out they where not there anymore. I bet their heart stopped.
Shouldnt have weapons at home but MERIKAAAA
@@stebrown7939 You got the spirit but you reached the wrong solution
Smart parent, probably the father knows something is up with his son and he was paranoid and kept checking his gun everyday. They just saved someone's life.
also his friend and teacher seemed to actually help the situation
Probably even better if he knows something is up w/ his son and he keeps the guns locked up so the kid can't just take them to school.. But this is the next best thing I suppose
@@TopDogRL Kids figure out how to get into locked areas.
Thanks for explaining how it couldn't have been the woman.
Could have gone a step further and removed his guns from the premises or kept them properly secured if he was concerned.
The world needs parents like this. They saw the signs, realised the missing firearms and acted accordingly. This could've went very badly, but thanks to the officers and the parents this kid can get help.
They gave him the guns and ammo
@@MoneyMan28 Wrong
@@MoneyMan28most likely he took the guns from them
These parents are heroes. They saved the lives of countless of students and their son's future.
At the end of the day, if he was truly in a state to cause damage, and not just suicidal he would have put that first shot into somebody. This was a cry for help from a truly traumatized individual. No matter how good your life is at home, with the internet we have to be worried about our children on so many more levels then just domestic.
could hahve been avoided altogether if they kept their firearms locked properly.
@@Bigbacon Your argument isn't very sound, although keeping the firearm locked away properly would've prevented him from doing this now but what happens if he did this later on in his life where his parents wouldn't have been a position to stop him and he had complete control over his own firearm?
Well the sons future is f*cked at this point anyways
No, the kid's life is probably ruined.
Don’t ignore signs, good on the parents for saving countless lives along with their sons
Their sons life is over. They will keep him in a hospital, make him dependent on pills, and will be remembered for what he did if he ever gets out.
By keeping weapons and ammo unsecured in their home they actually nearly got everyone killed. It is so recklessly irresponsible of them, especially given that they knew their kid was unstable.
@@michaelshannon6134 unless he got them from somewhere else because those were friday night specials, not common defense weapons
@@haydenreimer3992 No the parents literally came to the school because they noticed them missing, he got them from home.
The son cannot be saved. People like this should be put in an institution for the rest of their lives.
That decision to hold his sons hands behind his back might be the hardest thing this dad has ever done.
Shows how strong the dad is
Oh, Now that the kid has been completely broken without anyone helping him now the parents decide to intervene?
@@therealmr.incredible3179 "He'd been acting strangely a few days before" maybe parents can't read minds?
Not as hard as burying his child. His son is in jail, but at least he's still alive & nobody was hurt. The parents did a good job stopping their son from shooting up the school, as did the teacher and his friend. The only part where the parents dropped the ball was not securing the guns at home, and with kids i know it's easier said than done.
@@AGK843 facts 100% should have secured the guns in a secure hardened steel locker with only one access key and it should have always been on the dad, I agree with you about that
Your parents literally saved your life son. When you work through you problems, and have a clear head, and I really hope and pray that you do, don't forget to thank them for saving your life or what little would have been left of your life if you had done something drastic and survived.
You cant know what kind of parents they are just based on this video. Maybe the parents played a role why their son ended up that way. nobody knows.
@user-qr3nb4hn7y he isnt going to prison for that long, he will probably spend a lot of time somewhere to fix his mental health though. Probably like 10 years in prison
Several felonies? That sounds like a lot more than 10 years in prison to me.@@w0s0griffin
@@100above7 It's easy to get a job as long as you're physically able. Criminal record doesn't really matter. Now, if it's possible to get a well-above minimum wage job that anyone could call a career, perhaps far more unlikely.
These parents saved everyone's lives, even their son just by being observant. Horrible situation but best possible response. Didn't wait around for the police to rough their kid up, they disarmed him themselves. Proud of these parents, hope their son is in a better mental state
Ain’t going to lie. My heart broke for those parents.
Jon Ornelas true imagine how they felt while seeing the weapons in his bag
Why? They left their guns where their mentally ill kid could get them. Its 10p% their negligence that made this happen.
whywouldyousaythat
Don’t underestimate what some kids are capable of. These things can happen under many circumstances, and the best thing to know is that nobody got hurt because the parents were responsible enough to understand their kids emotions, and notice when something like a weapon went missing during the same time period.
@@steakman You're making an awful lot of assumptions. You don't know their life. The fact that they were able to notice missing weapons and get to the school before the police were even alerted shows they were aware of a lot more than you think.
@@Soccerrockker6 one more point. What does having to know their life have to do with the FACT that if their guns were in a safe that he didnt have access too..... this wouldnt have happened....

Excellent parenting! I am happy to see these parents were able to see what was coming, and while they didn’t completely prevent it, they did prevent the worst of it.
they are absolutely terrible parents
"Excellent parenting" would have been locking up the guns.
@@TheSighphiguy thats what im saying , they should have prevented the problem before they ran in trying to fix it
@@vile-jw6ed i mean there could be a possibility where it was locked but the kid somehow got the combination. But at least they fixed their mistake by preventing the shooting
@@TheSighphiguy he took them out of a safe.
So he fired one shot, looked around at the students, and then pointed the gun on himself? Seems like he couldn't even go through with hurting others, which is respectable even though he should still be reprimanded severely for this.

This video is 3 years old and only has 200k views these parents saved countless of lives

Its because libs couldn't use this to push their agenda, no one was hurt so they cant push emotional issues, and he had a handgun and a shotgun they are trying to ban the scarwy ar15
It’s because it didn’t happen and no one got hurt, that’s all the liberal news networks report on is when it happens and people die so they can get ratings and help their little friends
Doubled
Unless its a tragedy the media doesn't spread it. This doesn't necessarily "motivate" people towards gun control so yeah just like when an armed civilian stops a gun man.... you never hear about it unless you find it yourself. America home of the free land of the media controlled.
the amount of respect i have for these parents is unparalled, they deserve a nobel prize.
If you are caught red handed why is it only ALLEDGED ?
His parents are the real heroes. This may be the first time I’ve heard of the parents seeing signs and moving on them
We don't hear about the preventions that don't make the news...
@@owlexS we get it man your better informed than the rest of humanity.
yet they drove into the school to investigate rather than calling the school to warn them... losing critical minutes that may have mattered
@@chouseification I agree that calling the school may have been the right decision, but they were probably also in a lot of stress at the moment., If I were in that situation, I'd be like "naah, he's not actually gonna do it, right? we're just checking... maybe he went to that gun range we go to to release some stress.. maybe it's not as bad as we think it is..." what matters was that they managed to stop it from happening, and that's that
They didn't act on the signs until they found their guns missing.
Those parents recognized the red flags and reacted as parents should. Saving a lot of lives. I can't began to imagine how heartbreaking this is for his brave parents. I pray for their healing.
Except having the weapons locked away

Amazing parents! We need more parents like that !Thank you!❤❤
Kudos to the parents. Thank God for the parents that knew something was off. Good job mom n dad. U saved many lives.
I feel so terrible for his parents, that must’ve been a pain like no other. Those are good parents though, for caring enough about their son to recognize he was acting odd and being smart enough to realize the weapons were missing
Yeah, but it was also irresponsible for him to be able to access their weapons so easily. Because if something worse had happened, they would have also shared the blame.
@@julianchapman69yearsago88 but apparently not
But not caring or smart enough to keep their guns locked up safely
Not defending the kid or anything but you are naïve if you think a determined teen can’t figure out how to access weapons in his own home.
@@julianchapman69yearsago88 they might’ve been locked up but if I had a gun safe, my kids (if mature enough) would know the code just in case a home robbery happened while at work or something.
Those are real parents, when signs show don’t ignore ‼️
Parents who allow a crazy child to have access to their firearms ... yeah they are sooo “real”
There's this thing called a safe and it contains a lock, the kid wouldn't of been able to get the guns, all I keep out a my handgun which is on me at all times the rest in the safe.
nilson benavides I completely agree, parents are at fault here and people are praising them
J P, I will give the parents some credit, but they should have called 911.
Police could arrive quicker and have the training needed.
The school could have been alerted ASAP by the police and put on lockdown.
Well possibly true , very true ... although I’m sure all that was going through the parents minds were “how do we save our son”, they obviously put their sons life infront of every other life that was at the school that day... and once again, people are “praising” these parents 🤦♂️🤦♂️ only in America..
This is why you keep your firearms locked up. I'm sure the parents have gone through enough but they should honestly be held accountable in court
you speculating that the guns werent locked up. the guns couldve been locked up but the son either found a way to open it by figuring out the code or breaking the lock
this may sound like a strange concept: done give your 15 years old access to your guns

What went wrong is all the bullying that is going on in american schools that teachers and principals ignore.
That + common access to guns and well you do the math. Public schooling is a complete mess in this country.

@Bob V exactly. How the guns were even accessible is the bigger question. Glad a crisis was averted either way.
@Bob V a gun safe is plenty accessible. Especially when you have children. Doesn't matter what age they are. We don't live in the 50s and 60s anymore. I am all for the 2nd amendment and exercise it as well.
@Bob V okay, so then as long as I educate my 3 year old about firearm safety he can be trusted to handle an AR15 right? Wow, you learn something new everyday. Thanks, I'm taking all the gun safes out of my house. Ma boy is from "good stock", yeeehawwww!!!!! Ya'll just need to get better edumucated... bunch o' dummies.

@Bob V you don't know anything about the parents. I hope they'll never have to read comments like yours
@@kalebkelso1 I see no signs of intelligent life in this comment.
when other people said what parents could have done after a tragedy, this is what a responsible parent should do put attention of your child and they acted fast
Thank you, wonderful parents, for your wise and compassionate actions and caring. You did the most caring thing any parent could ever do. I'm proud of, and in awe of your parenting 👏👏👏👏
The parents are completely silent, their disappointment is immeasurable
And their day is ruined
You are reading this with your emotions. My parents had 4 children….silent is deafening….and frightening….great calming and controlling method…..showed they had your “back “ as well as disappointment….you never saw theirs faces…..combine that with a smile of concern…you can control a massive son or a small hyperactive daughter
I’m disappointed in the parents for letting their child get this bad. They should have had more of a connection with their son and make sure he is comfortable talking about his feelings with his parents. He probably also has mental issues and the parents should have gotten him therapy.
@@jogaming55555 I agree, but most of the time it's really hard to tell if a person is mentally ok. I used to get constantly burned out from working in school way too much and it started to really affect my mental health, I would get more tired and feel unhappy. Nobody ever noticed it. But thankfully my former teacher had somewhat caught on and helped me work things out. But again, it's not always that easy to tell if a person is not mentally ok. It took about a month to notice how my mental health was starting to crumble.

Such a tragic scene. But so glad to see parents save their child, let alone countless others. What an example of identifying risk factors and addressing them.

Ah yes “save” the child by letting him instead have a quick and easy escape face years of his life in prison.
@@TheLinposterIsSus still saving the child.
It's much better than prison time for longer, or suicide.
Also, do we know for certain how much time he will be punished etc?
Maybe if they'd identified the risk of having so much guns and ammunition in the house they could have avoided this situation entirely....
@@TheLinposterIsSus what
This is a rare moment when parents do their jobs instead of ditching it onto others and expect them to handle the forming of their children. Usually because the parents are either embarrassed or ashamed to confront harsh realities.
Props to the parents for potentially saving many lives.

Given how the parents acted with the recent school shooting I commend these parents for doing what they did. They saw the signs and responded, even disarmed their own son and then turn him over to the police. If you have children you know how hard this would be.

That is solid parenting, they saw a xhange, they paid attention and they saved lives. Now hopefully their son can get the help he needs and them too after such a situation.
It’s not solid parenting. Check the video description and it was his parents guns. The parents should not have custody if they won’t lock their guns up.
@@Restrictedeightteen sorry. It’s just my opinion as well.

Agreed both need help. And even though the parents perhaps, should have kept their guns locked away. They also probably trusted their son and didnt notice anything iffy until that day ofc. I imagine they are in pure shock due to the unexpected event. As you said and im saying, i hope they get the help they need and i wish the best for them.

To the cops in Texas, this is how you respond to a person with a gun in a school. Fast. With little regard for your own safety because the lives of multiple children are at stake
Vigilant parents my heart goes out to the two of them. Hope his son gets and receives the help he so desperately needs. Praying for his parents.
And the cop reacted faster than the cops who waited while that texas elementary school shooter was killing people
They are idiots. Without them owning the guns this would not have happend...
not vigilant enough to realise their son was suicidal and (apparantly) willing to kills his schoolmates and teachers
but vigilant enough to realise their son took their guns
lemao
@@rodi8266 Frr that's what I was thinking about. Like the parents should've notice it sooner
@@rodi8266 and not vigilant enough for the boy to not just take the weapons.
So, he ran in the class, shoot at the ceiling, to bring everyone's attention to himself, before trying to shoot himself. He was trying to say "Look what you all did to me". But we don't actually know, why he tried to do that. Was it bullying, or some problems with learning ?
Poor guy, hopefully he got send to psychologist/therapist. Even worse that his parents had witnessed it.
He brought a lot of guns and ammo, I think he was definitely considering harming others as well but that teacher had talked him out of it. I hope he gets some help as well.
Some problems with learning?
Really?
Who shoots himself over learning problems?
If so, the parents are crazy prestigious!
@@RKroese it happens and kids and teens handle things differently....I know someone who committed suicide because they couldn't keep up in class
@@dariuscoleman3660 I blame the parents telling the kid he's worthless if he can't keep up.
Know they nothing of the human psyche?
Or parental love?
@@RKroese Some parents push their children to do better than them. Most of the time it gets to the point where the kid's opinion is irrelevant and all that matters is the kids perform better than them, almost as if they are using the kids as a way to cope with the guilt a past failure.
I felt my parent's love from a flying sandal when my grades dropped by 1 percent, when they themselves flunked school and is barely able to keep ourselves afloat from all the debt.
A bit late to the party here, but the algorithm just now recommended this story to me. When I initially watched it, I was relieved that there were no lives taken, but as I pondered it, I became more disturbed than relieved.
According to the story, as soon as the parents noticed firearms missing, they immediately went to the school. This is telling and chilling. They didn't call the police and report them missing, and I don't see anywhere where they spent time trying to find the guns. They went immediately to the school. It's almost as if they already knew that their son was disturbed enough to go and slaughter a bunch of kids and teachers, but that they still kept multiple firearms and ammunition within this kid's ability to access.
Their parents must be so disappointed in him
YOOOOO ITS CAPTAIN OBVIOUS!!!!!!
Quick thinking parents, I’m happy that this didn’t end in a tragedy.
Quick thinking? Thought of a gun safe so it never would have gotten to this point woulda prevented all this. No credit will be given to the parents today.
koga soldier it was never stated whether they had a gun safe or not don’t assume what you don’t know
@@yossef1492 it doesn't matter. If they own guns and have a child. They should have a safe and keep them in it. Period. I do. It's really not hard.
@@Malkuno fair enough.
@@UltimateTiknut and this is what it looks like when someone changes their tone given more information.
When Eminem said:
"When a dude's getting bullied and shoots up his school
And they blame it on Marilyn and the heroin
Where were the parents at?"
This kids parents took that personally.
That kid wasn’t born when that album came out, the parents were probably prime listening age, you never know
omfg shut up....
@Ab Is that a question?
@Ab way I am
Marylin and heroin are bad and always bad. not sure if Eminem is trying to make them look good when it isn't.
I appreciate that his parents came to the school and, thank God, were able to disarm him without further incident. What I don't understand is why, if they had noticed he was behaving strangely, they hadn't first secured their firearms, and then gotten him some kind of help.
Less gun laws and more hands on parenting
The parents saved the school by owning a hi point 😂😂😂
It’s for pistol whipping not shooting or what ever cheap burglar do to eat them burgers 🍔
YEET CANNON!
I’d rather get shot then get hit by that cinder block of a hi point lol
Lmao haha
I own a high poin never fails and I’m surgical with it ...it virtually the same as some glocks he only differences in my opinion is the appearance and capacity ..and besides you can’t destroy the thing and a lifetime warranty ...but your rit if it does brake on me I’ll just throw it
Can we talk about how fast that cop got there and rushed in blindly without waiting for backup?
that was my exact thought. like he ran in there no hesitation
...hoping he would get to shoot someone. The situation had been under control because of the parents but he still shoo'd them away like they were the problem
your pfp doesnt work on people using dark mode lol
@@martuuk8964 if the cop got a shot at the kid at any of his vital organs his body would not care if it was a puny pistol or a shotgun or rifle that the cop was holding. He would still die. This is a poor excuse. Many rifle men have been killed with pistols. The cop who decides not to go in is just a coward plain and simple or has not had enough training.
Can’t trick me wiv ur pfp *Go Dark Mode* 😌
Less criminals equals less crime
America is such a messed up place. Parents going to school to subdue their own son with a shotgun? Seriously. Even animals behave better than that.
Yeah please don’t compare animals to humans because we’re not the same.
Those parents are on point!!
FINALLY PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY WATCH THEIR KIDS!
They didn't know what was going on with their son quite fully, but they saw their guns go missing and that's when they knew something was up. At least they jumped into action when they saw their guns missing. I hope they really tried to reach him since he obviously felt out of place and misunderstood, but being a teenager, you can put yourself down easily, and trying to keep your feelings from showing to everybody is commonplace nowadays.
They shoulda been doing more than watching him, that boy didnt learn sh*t.
I'm not saying the parents are in the right here, but I don't think you knew exactly what happened with the kid. I wouldn't assume that it was the parent's problem, but it can be.
Exactly. My parents have encouraged me to harm students at my school, but Id never do something like that. My parents are horrible.
@@Lunaliladee your parents couldve been teaching you how to stand up for yourself. You know "be a man" type ish. Maybe your parents understand that sometimes violence is the only answer against kids being stupid on the playground. You were a kid and probably couldnt do much anyway. Maybe your parents were juat real.
This is the reason why more people should pay attention to her children what's going on with them in their daily lives to prevent a tragedy from happening
Nail on the head. It's all about bad parenting. People ask me, how do your children speak before mine and know their numbers letters and can do things only kids years ahead of them can do. All I say is TEACH THEM.
luckily these parents did pretty well by noticing he was acting weird and that there were missing guns, so luckily no one was hurt
And then a bunch of kids on r/teenagers are complaining about their parents being too caring and protective.
this is the reason it shouldnt be legal to have a shotgun and pistol just laying around for youre kids to grab
@@DavidSjodinisbest no. this is nothing near that. im sure the parents hid the guns but their kid found out where it was. also, if you parent your kid good enough, they will know to not take a gun.
The only way to stop a bad kid with a gun is a good kid with a gun
I read somewhere that mental maturity is reached at age 25 for males. Perhaps gun laws should reflect this to stop under 25 accessing firearms without supervision.
Wait, how did he brings weapons into a gun free zone? Isn't that illegal? Asking for a friend
That's only for law abiding citizens that like to protect them self's and other.
greenshards742 wooooooosh
the high school i went to had metal detectors.
Gyp FN Not even a whoosh.
Gyp FN you’re a woooosh
can’t imagine how sad that feels, having to hold his own kid down
@@philyew3617 they should feel terrible off there bad parenting why would a teenage know where yo guns are and they noticed he was acting weird but never talked to him
@@eatpiggy351 The least alarming thing about this is the kid knew where the guns are. If you grow up with a gun in the house you should teach your kid to respect and when he’s old enough where it is if he needs to defend himself. The alarming part would be everything in his child hood leading up to this whether it be mental illness or bad parenting or both that brought him to this point.
@@eatpiggy351 you can’t always get through to someone! Some people’s minds are elsewhere, they at least paid attention to the signs their son was having issues and went to the school that day before he took his life, who knows got triggered and shot someone else instead! Don’t always blame the parents.
@@KJ-xx1sd agreed, someone who's mentally stable isn't going to take their knowledge of the location of the guns and use that to take them to school. I've always known where the guns in the house were after my father taught my how to shoot and ofc gun safety. However, I was taught never to go near them without my dad/mother and never had been unstable enough to take them to school. It's the parents job to teach you, but what you do after that is your fault.
@@noisaidno3520 Yep it all comes down to the parenting.
It's great that the parents cared enough to pay attention to their child's behavior and perceived metal status. They literally saved the life of everyone there.
Praise to the parents actually stopping there child from killing people. Perfect example that shows it can be stopped.
Cool, parents who actually pay attention to their teens emotions.
Yeah but they left easy access to their guns
@@2inchesfromtheground definitely not smart and that’s agreed, but with the chances of something like this happening being extremely low you never think it will be your kids, even if they seem depressed
@@slottygaming9996 defiently smart. Not many parents do this probably wasn’t easy access either he probably figured out the code to a safe
hmmm yes, very cool parents, having guns out in the open with children that probably think they could use it as a cowboy gun toy, very smart.
@@palmms8526 You do realize that by law you can't just have guns "laying around" right? You need a safe, or a gun locker.
People should really read the article on this. He went into a classroom, fired once at the ceiling, and when pointing the gun didn't have the heart to do anything. So he went to turn it on himself and was stopped by his parents. Half a dozen kids in that room addressed the court saying he was a good kid who was going through things he wasn't equipped to handle.
Booo hooo he needs to be locked up. The world treats white boys like saints.
@@helloworld3943 you are whats wrong lmao. Racist, No empathy, and closed minded lmao
How did his parent get there?... something doesn’t seem right with this story....
@@thebluedan They dropped him off at school and when they came back home they found out some guns were missing,so they went back to school and their son was trying to take his own life in the classroom.
@@wendellnovais So the said... so they drop him off at school wearing all black, didn’t think the back pack with a shotgun bulge was suspicious at all. go back home immediately go to where the guns are ? Notice one missing... disarm him cop shows up in record time, this story is so suspect. Theater 🎭
That school dodged lots of bullets... Literally.
Those parents did the right thing. Heartbreaking but stopped him before he could do harm
Hope the kid gets the help he needs. Can’t imagine what’s going thru his mind.
Pumped up kicks.
Putting down the guns was a good first step
he is prison for a long... time
@@talaverajr391 you are goated for this comment 😭😭😭
@@xCmOn3yx777 FARMINGTON - A 15-year-old who pleaded guilty to bringing two guns to school and firing one round into the ceiling of a Mueller Park Junior High School classroom was sentenced to spend time in a Juvenile Justice Services facility.
At the sentencing hearing Thursday, Feb. 23, defense attorney Lindsay Jarvis said based on the teen’s record, she *doesn’t expect him to be in the facility for more than a year.*
Juvenile Judge Janice Frost said the length of the teen’s stay at the facility will depend on his cooperation and willingness to get treatment.
“We don’t act in isolation,” Frost said to the teen during the hearing. “Our actions affect other people, and it’s important for you to take responsibility for that.”
A lot of people here saying the parents saved many lives by showing up, yet the kid shot into the ceiling followed by turning to gun on himself, sounds more like the only person he was going to shoot was himself after getting there
i feel like that kid regretted this once his parents came to him at school and stopped him because he then realized he's not alone but good job for the parents
Honorable man that father. My heart goes out to him.
