Student Support Services from the Antioch Unified School District as well as personnel from the REACH Project processed and counseled the truants. The program is intended to be supportive rather than punitive, and its purpose is to keep school-age children in school and off the streets during school hours. Statistical data reveals that high rates of truancy are directly linked to daytime criminal behavior, and truant students are more prone to drop out of school.

According to a witness, Johnson was firing the weapon into the ground and not at passing vehicles. Johnson’s motive for his actions is not known at this time.
