Twelve-Year-Old Arrested in California For Threatening to Kill Teacher and Students

A 12-year-old California boy was arrested after allegedly emailing a threat to shoot a teacher and 23 of his middle-school classmates.

KFMB-TV reported on Sunday that authorities took the boy into custody on Saturday and referred him to a hospital for evaluation.

The suspect, a seventh-grader at Twin Peaks Middle School in Poway, California, allegedly threatened to attack the school on Monday, saying he had 3,000 rounds of ammunition. The San Diego County District Attorney’s Office will also evaluate the case, as the boy faces possible felony charges.

    Is this a 200 pound 6' 12 year old, or a 100 pound 5' 12 year old? Does he REALLY have 3,000 rounds of ammunition?
