60 year-old, Von Meyer, from Indiana was arrested Friday after he threatened to kill his wife and as many people as he could at a nearby elementary school. Meyer was arrested on charges of felony charges of intimidation and misdemeanor charges of domestic battery and resisting law enforcement. On Saturday, after a search of the home, police seized 47 assault weapons through-out the man’s two story home in Cedar Lakes. The man lives less than 1,000 feet from Jane Ball Elementary School. Just another example of how glorifying murderers such as Adam Lanza will “inspire” others to do the same if not worse. Also another example on why stricter gun laws and a ban on assault weapons are needed. There is NO reason why one person should have 47 weapons in their possession. Read more below.

Police notified the school of the threats and security of the building and it’s surrounding areas were made more secure. Between Meyer’s home and the elementary school there series of trails and walking paths though a wooded area that connect the two properties. He told his wife that he was going to walk to the school armed and willing to kill as many people as he could before the police arrived at the scene.
