It's usually difficult to predict a tragedy like Columbine before it happens. Luckily when 10 pounds of ammonium nitrate was delivered to the Schallenberger's home in Chesterfield, South Carolina the parents took it as a red flag. Soon after the delivery, they discovered their 18-year-old son's "hate diary" which included one years worth of diagrams, maps, and details on how to bomb his high school. Ammonium nitrate, the doorstep delivery, was what was used in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and was the last ingredient to Ryan Schallenberger's master plan. They even found a tape Ryan wanted played after the sucide bombing. He went from one the top students at Chesterfield High to a prisoner in Chesterfield County jail on April 20th, 2008.
