When police arrested a 13-year-old boy in Washington state last week accused of making threats to kill, they found he had everything ready to go to commit a mass shooting including a trove of more than 20 guns in his home.
He was arrested after the Pierce County Sheriffs Office received information Friday from an internet watch group that reports threatening online posts, Deputy Carly Cappetto told CNN.
After reviewing the suspects social media posts, it was warranted to immediately move forward with an arrest, Cappetto said. Authorities believe the boy had school shooter ideations.
When a SWAT team descended on the boys home, located in a suburban area of Parkland, Washington, around 1 a.m. Saturday, they found a collection of 23 firearms, several boxes of ammunition, loaded magazines with school shooter writings on them, as well as clothing and writings typical to a mass shooting scenario, Cappetto said.

Hope the kid gets some help (while being monitored very carefully, and for a considerable time)
But more importantly - I hope a large stock of weaponry and ammo disappears from private hands, and are NOT returned to family or anyone having connection - or involved in original enabling .. !

(9,681 posts)A 13 year old boy with 23 guns, loaded magazines with school shooter writings on them, and many have no serial numbers and are essentially untraceable. Some also appear to be homemade from a 3D printer? What kind of parents let a 13 year old have or have access to that?
