Police said seven rifles, two revolvers, one handgun, one shotgun and more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition were recovered from the suspect's home.

A Southern California student was arrested over the weekend after police said they were able to determine that he was plotting a school shooting at Ontario Christian High School in San Bernardino County. The 18-year-old student, who has been identified as Sebastian Villasenor, was arrested Saturday after Ontario Police Department investigators were able to determine that the student had made 'viable threats' last Thursday, Feb. 8.

They say that he was 'obsessed' with school shootings, especially the Columbine High School shooting in Colorado, which led them to believe that he may have been planning the shooting on or around April 20, which is when the deadly incident took place back in 1999. Villasenor has been charged with one count of attempted criminal threats and five counts of attempted murder, all of which are felonies, Lorenz said.
