California police have located a small arsenal of two semi-automatic assault rifles in the home of a teenager who had threatened to attack his high school, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office said Wednesday.
The 17-year-old, who was arrested by law enforcement, made the threat this Friday when he got into a fight with one of his teachers, two days after a former high school student was attacked in Parkland, Florida, where they died. the 17 people.
At the teenager's home in a Los Angeles suburb, police found two assault rifles of the same type used by the Florida massacre perpetrator, two pistols and cartridges containing about 90 bullets, Sheriff John McDonnell said.
The student's older brother, who was known for his misconduct, assured that he was the owner of the guns, but did not show gun licenses for most of the guns. He was also arrested by the authorities. US President Donald Trump on Wednesday called for some teachers in schools to take up arms to protect their students in the event of a similar attack in Parkland.
