WWL doesn’t specify in the article but I’m assuming he was planning on doing this at Jazz Fest. Identity of the purp hasn’t been released yet. Wtf is wrong with people…

I know festival food is expensive but you don't have to go this extreme

Them sleepy old lady bag checkers at Jazz Fest gate would have sniffed him out.

So a white baw from North Carolina, hanging out in Destin Fl, gets arrested and extradited to Louisiana for planning to shoot up Jazz Fest?

One of the articles I read mentioned festival international in Lafayette.

Either way, glad they caught him.

I believe it’ll be a Chris Aaron Gillum from alerts that went out

Looked up the name yesterday and also a NC guy so I’m assuming the same

Photo in article shows a KelTec .380 pistol. Good luck getting your mass shooting on with that.

You can post a picture from FaceMySpace, you just have to know how.

He has a tat, I'm sure it's about his " life story".

What a relief. Now we know for sure he will be prosecuted and jailed.
