发帖数: 1932 | 1 Exchange student arrested in Pennsylvania for allegedly 'threatening to
shoot up' high school: Police
An 18-year-old exchange student from Taiwan was arrested Tuesday night for
allegedly "threatening to shoot up" a Pennsylvania high school, local police
said this morning.
According to the Upper Darby Police, the suspect, An Tso Sun, had a slew of
items in his home including: a military-style ballistic vest; high-powered
crossbow with scope and light; arrows; 29 rounds of 9mm ammunition; a
strangling device; a "military" ski mask; and ear protectors for firing.
Authorities also found a school-issued iPad that allegedly showed Sun was
searching weapons like AK-47s and AR-15s, said Michael Chitwood,
superintendent of Upper Darby Police.
Sun allegedly told a fellow student at Bonner Prendergast Catholic High
School to “not come to school on May 1” because he “was going to shoot up
the school," Chitwood said at a news conference today. Sun then allegedly
told the classmate he was “kidding,” Chitwood said.
The classmate also said Sun asked how to purchase a gun, Chitwood said.
That student went to school officials, who notified Upper Darby Police,
Chitwood said. It was not immediately clear if Sun had a lawyer.
Sun was charged with terrorist threats with the intent to terrorize another.
He was arraigned Tuesday night and held without bail pending a
psychological evaluation, authorities said.
The teen is on a student visa that was issued in July 2017 and expires in
July 2022, authorities said today. Federal authorities have been contacted. |
