A 30-year-old student,whose last name indicates his South Asian descent,has been found dead at a Florida university,alongside weapons and backpack of bombs,suggesting that he was plotting an attack that could have resulted in an another Virginia Tech-style bloodbath. The University of Central Florida said the student has been identified as James Oliver Seevakumaran. Police said Monday that they were still trying to find the background,but noted that he appeared to be a lone wolf,who was planning a major attack on the university students,but ended up killing himself. Seevakumaran,the university said,was a student in the College of Business Administration enrolled from fall 2010 through fall 2012. He was not enrolled in any courses in spring 2013 and was in the process of being removed from UCF housing,where he lived on the third floor of Tower 1, the university said. Seevakumaran was found in his apartment with a handgun,tactical assault rifle and backpack containing four IEDs after the police arrived inside his dorm in the wee hours Monday after it received a 911 call regarding a man with a gun. When police arrived,they found a victim who died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, the university said. He died from a single shot to the head fired by a handgun,the police said. The University of Central Florida (UCF) Police Chief Richard Beary told reporters at a news conference at the university campus that said writings found in his dorm room indicated there was a planned attack. It could have been a very bad day for everyone here. Lets just face it: One shooting is bad enough. Multiples is unthinkable, Beary said. Beary said it is likely Seevakumaran pulled a fire alarm in Tower 1 (the dorm where he lived) shortly after midnight and planned to shoot or injure other students as they evacuated. But it looks like he changed his mind,returned to his room and killed himself.
