A 13-year-old boy in Washington state was arrested for making threats to commit a mass shooting. Upon his arrest, authorities discovered 23 firearms and ammunition in his home, along with indications of 'school shooter ideations.' A SWAT team raided the suburban Parkland, Washington home early Saturday, finding untraceable firearms, some possibly 3D printed, along with ammunition, loaded magazines, and materials associated with school shootings. The teenager's room contained items and writings that indicated an obsession with past school shooters. The arrest followed a tip from an internet watch group that reported the boy's threatening online posts. The Pierce County Sheriff's Office believes they prevented a potential attack on a school.
