Did anyone at Columbine Highschool think an attack was likely before it happened? Did anyone at Virginia Tech think an attack was likely before it happened?
Security measures are taken to minimize risk. So perhaps the Superintendent feels there is a risk that needs to be addressed. That would be another assumption I would add as number 3. I won't assume anything is imminent, but you may if you like.
