A man who served time in prison for a deadly schoolyard ambush was convicted Tuesday of possessing a firearm while being a drug user, a crime that could send him to prison for 10 more years.

Mitchell Johnson was arrested on New Year's Day 2007 after police stopped his van and said they found a bag of marijuana in his pocket and a 9 mm pistol and a 20-gauge shotgun in two bags.

Police said they stopped the van after getting an anonymous tip about drugs in the vehicle.

In 1998, Johnson, then 13, and 11-year-old schoolmate Andrew Golden opened fire as students and teachers left Jonesboro Westside Middle School after Golden pulled the fire alarm. The boys killed English teacher Shannon Wright and four students ages 11 and 12. They wounded 10 other people.

Good. Even though they were kids I always thought these 2 got off too lightly. Johnson sure blew any 2nd chance criminal justice system gave him.

1. wow so when he was 13 he went on a shooting rampage

he finally got out and now he gets busted again? probably before he committed another atrocity. Good riddance, I hate our overcrowded prison system but he deserves it.
