A student at my school threatened to bring a gun to school; he even described the location to me. I told the principal, but he brushed me away by saying "He's probably just messing with you." I take him seriously though, because he does have a history of depression problems and suicide attempts. Should I go to the police?

PLEASE do talk to the police! It's better to be safe than sorry in a situation like this! When you talk to them, it would be good to have an adult with you (if you are under 18 or so) to help lend credibility to your claim. Also, you should also go in person, and make sure they know you're serious, and that you have reason to believe that this person could be a serious threat to themselves or others.
I sincerely hope that things work out for you, and that we don't hear about this person on the news. Best of luck!

Go to your parents, then go to the police. And also to the MEdia and the School District. After waht happened in Virginia As a Principal I woldnt take any risks...

YES YES YES YES YES!!!! What your principal said is wrong!!! Tell the police what he said as well as who this kids is and what he told you! No good principal would have said that! Take matters into your own hands.

Columbine. Amish School in PA., Virginia Tech, Appalachian School of Law, Concordia, and Ecole Polytechnique to name a few.
Go to the cops with your folks. That kid's messed up. Don't let him get too far with his plans.

Go to your parents. They'll be able to assess the danger, and when they call the police, the police will believe them. And if your hunch is right, you'll get a new principal.

If his parents don't take you seriously either, and you truly feel there is a threat here, then you should go to the police.

I suggest talking to your parents , telling them you already approached the principal and they did nothing.
Your parents can address any problems and deal with the adults.

talk to other kids and see if he's been saying that to them... if so get some help... if not, he's probably just messing w/ you.
