  1. I am wondering if the boy lived there? Also, who would have that inside information if he did not, that he would be there. It sounds like someone who came prepared to do harm to him, specifically. Also, does the boy go to the public local school and if so is his picture up somewhere publicly (criminals access this). Someone knew he’s be there.
