TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — A 13-year-old boy described by police as “obsessed with school shooters” was arrested on multiple firearms possession charges and causing a threat after they say they found social media posts about intentions to kill and seized 23 guns and ammunition from his home. The boy pleaded not guilty to a total of five charges, four of them felonies, in juvenile court on Monday. He was arrested over the weekend in Washington’s Pierce County.

quote:

Firearms were mounted on walls and handguns were found unsecured throughout the home, sheriff’s Deputy Carly Cappetto said in a news release Monday. “Several pieces of evidence from the suspect’s bedroom indicated he was obsessed with past school shooters and imitated similar behaviors with photos and inscriptions throughout his room,” she said.

Loaded magazines with school shooter writings on them were removed. “It appeared the suspect had everything ready to go to commit a mass shooting type of incident. It is unknown who or what the intended target was going to be, but it’s clear it was a matter of time before a tragic incident occurred,” Cappetto said.

The boy’s parents said their son had no intention of harming anyone. His mother, who attended the court hearing, suggested in an interview afterward that the social media posts were an attempt to “be cool” among peers, KOMO-TV reported. Cappetto said the boy was last enrolled in the Franklin Pierce School District in 2021. He was currently unenrolled and was not currently an active student in any school district.

Not even enrolled in school. His parents need to be charged as well.

Were they his guns or his parents guns?


If he was taken into custody why were his parent’s weapons seized?

Washington state, not surprised.

Spent time in that state over the Summer. They are some deranged people on the western side of the slopes to the ocean.

Seeing the location, this is a very strong possibility.

Chances are good it was targeting a Christian school as well.

Another huge potential victory for progressive voters.

Maybe they will get lucky and a democrat judge in WA will release him with no charges so he can carry it out.

Throw the parents under the jail. A thirteen year old just doesn't get that way.

I was thinking the same thing. This is Tacoma Washington. Not some forgotten Podunk town in the hills of West Virginia.
