And we thought Eminem was the one who supposedly inspired violence in our kids. Authorities say they alerted school administrators in the town of Hendersonville, in case there were any repercussions. And police told the paper they've tried, unsuccessfully thus far, to reach representatives for 'N Sync, which is currently touring in support of its huge hit No Strings Attached . Reps for the band's label couldn't immediately be reached for comment. Sumner County Sheriff's Chief Bob Barker says detectives are currently waiting to hear from psychologists to determine what's next.
Barker believes the plans stemmed from intense feelings of jealousy.
That may have brought out some feelings that he may have written down. He had no access to any weapons or firearms, and he would have had to overpower somebody to first obtain a weapon. If he succeeded there, then he had the transportation issue of how to get to Atlanta. Which would be a tough six-hour drive in mom's car, that's for sure. Still, Barker praised the teen's mom for having the courage to seek help from authorities.
