A teen who opened fire at his California high school, killing 2 students, used a 'ghost gun' built from firearm parts, the Los Angeles County sheriff says.

Villanueva has called the shooting a"planned attack." The student, Nathaniel Tennosuke Berhow, was dropped off at school by his mother that day and pulled the handgun from a backpack before opening fire, officials have said.NBC News had reported that officials were looking at whether the handgun used was a “ghost gun.”

That the weapon used was manufactured from parts was also confirmed by the special agent in charge of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Los Angeles field office, Carlos A. Canino. Villanueva told KABC that gun kits, which involve a weapon 80 percent already completed, with the remaining 20 percent to be assembled at home, are legal to buy, but they can allow people to escape registering them."That is very dangerous," the sheriff said.

anblanx PhilHelsel This is so horrible as a student i believe this should be stopped and i am so sorry to anyone who lost their lives America

anblanx PhilHelsel Usually only the frame or receiver of a firearm will have a serial number on it.

anblanx Thanks, NRA! Rest in peace, children.

anblanx PhilHelsel Oh my! Didn't he know that's against CA law?!

anblanx PhilHelsel Just more evidence that attempts to keep guns 'out of the wrong hands' is a failed method to stop crime. THE best way to stop crime - is to defend against it. ALLOW people who want to, to arm themselves at their places of work. The problem of school shootings would just go away.

anblanx PhilHelsel Gun part control now!

anblanx PhilHelsel We need to ban ghost guns!
