To be honest & only knowing the story over the internet, I am not sure the English teacher did anything wrong. Doesn't everybody carry around dual function bomb/alarm clocks? :) The administration and the police however way overreacted. At least the police had the common sense to admit it and drop it.

I've found a Twitter account and a Facebook page for 3370, but their listed website address is down and neither social media account has seen any activity since 2012.

Does anyone have any current contact info so that we can tip them off? (assuming, of course, that they haven't had the same idea already)

High school Trap shooting teams have become very popular lately in MN. But all related activities are done at shooting ranges, off school property.
