- 4:22Speaker 7: I'm Jennifer Gould. A father's violent explosive meltdown over a

- 4:32Speaker 7: shoot up his child's elementary school. This parent, spoke to
- 4:36Speaker 7: CBS Detroit.

- 4:50Speaker 7: unfolded at Pleasant View Elementary School in East Point, Michigan.
- 4:54Speaker 7: When David Scott Junior, forty three arrived to pick up
- 4:58Speaker 7: his son. The snack rage intensified instantly. Scott, a repeat
- 5:03Speaker 7: felon with a history of crime, flew into a torrent

- 5:35Speaker 7: the snack time, confirming Scott's child was not individually targeted,
- 5:41Speaker 7: making this threat all the more unwarranted. The school immediately
- 5:45Speaker 7: raised the alarm, prompting police to track down and arrest
- 5:48Speaker 7: Scott within two hours. The subsequent execution of a search
- 5:52Speaker 7: warrant on his home yielded a disturbing discovery. Police found
- 5:57Speaker 7: multiple rounds of ammunition. This evidence underscored the severity of
- 6:02Speaker 7: the threat, and it resulted in Scott being hit with
- 6:05Speaker 7: the devastating fourth offense habitual offender notice, guaranteeing a maximum
- 6:11Speaker 7: sentence if he's convicted. Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido slammed
- 6:17Speaker 7: the incident, stating the absurdity of threatening mass violence over
- 6:20Speaker 7: something as minor as a classroom snack desert a treat

- 6:29Speaker 7: including possession of weapons and ammunition by a prohibited person,
- 6:35Speaker 7: intentional threat to commit an act of violence against school,
- 6:39Speaker 7: school employees or students, and disorderly conduct. He pleaded not guilty.
