The tip came from a woman in the drop-off line who said Adams had threatened to shoot her before, and she thought he was there to finish the job. Officers rushed in and found him chilling in the front office. No district folks and police quickly said there was no real danger to kids or staff since they nabbed him before classes started that day.
