The disturbing tweets are dated Dec. 15.

Can everyone please start kissing Brian Oliver's ass? I don't really feel like being shot even though I am super nice to him.—

Taft High School’s website lists Rona Angelo as vice principal. Several people at the school have tweeted rumors of a “hit list” which circulated last year.

In a series of unconfirmed tweets, students today named Bowe Cleveland as the student allegedly shot in the shoulder by student, Bryan Oliver.
@beezygioni he told me to beat up bowe one day because he doesn't like him and he was like all creepy I ran to bailey because I was scared—
MariahDoty (@Doty425) December 15, 2012
@Doty425 yeah he told Bowe that he watched 5 serial killer movies and thought of Bowe the whole time. Fucking. Creepy. 😭—

One of the students who expressed her concerns about Bryan Oliver in December later said she regretted doing so:
Someone in my family saw my tweets to @beezygioni about that weirdo shooting up the school & called and made me look stupid. Fucking idiot😒—
MariahDoty (@Doty425) December 17, 2012
@beezygioni last time I tweet about weirdos at school😒—

Should the administration have taken these students’ concerns more seriously?
Maybe Angelo should've taken me more serious when I got called in because of mine and @beezygioni 's tweets—
MariahDoty (@Doty425) January 10, 2013
Bryan Oiliver's a fucking bastard. So is angelo. How many times did i call this out? HOW MANY TIMES fuck—

The “national conversation” on gun violence has reached the White House this week, but as the administration and gun rights groups noisily grapple over the Second Amendment, time bombs quietly tick inside our schools. Is anyone listening?
Update, January 11th, 6:23 a.m. ET:
KGET is reporting that Bryan Oliver is the name of the suspected shooter.
USA Today is reporting that Bowe Cleveland was the student who was shot.
These reports are consistent with what Twitchy reported early yesterday afternoon.
