Student at Twin Peaks Middle School in custody, suspected of threatening school shooting
POWAY, Calif. - A student at Twin Peaks Middle School in Poway is in custody, suspected of threatening a mass shooting at the school.
According to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department, on Saturday morning, deputies from the Poway sheriffs station learned about an email threat that had been sent to an administrator at Twin Peaks Middle School the night before.
The threat indicated that on Monday, Feb. 11, 23 students and a Twin Peaks Middle School teacher would be shot. The email made reference to 3,000 rounds of ammunition as well as numerous firearms, according to a sheriff's department news release. The teacher is not being identified at this time.
Detectives worked with Poway Unified School District officials and a multi-agency technology-related crimes task force to find the source of the email.
Detectives identified a 12-year-old student who attends Twin Peaks Middle School as a possible suspect. On Saturday afternoon, detectives served a search warrant at the student's residence. Several computers, along with numerous rifles and handguns, were taken from the residence, according to the sheriff's department.

(19,841 posts)"During a 1 p.m. news conference, Sheriff's Capt. Bill Donahue said a total of 11 firearms five rifles, three shotguns and three handguns were seized.
Donahue said the parents of the student were shocked and upset. He added that they are cooperating with authorities.
When the warrants were served, the weapons were locked up and the student did not have access to them, Donahue said.
The student was then taken into custody and was admitted to a local hospital for treatment and evaluation."
-------------------------
I don't think we have enough info to say that the student could not get access to the parents weapons if he had wanted to. And also we don't know if he had access to other weapons that were not confiscated.
Get back to me when the full story comes out, if it does. It would have to be corroborated. Often first reports are misleading.
