Washington Teen Arrested After 23 Guns Seized in School Shooter Obsession Case
A 13-year-old boy in Pierce County, Washington, was arrested after authorities seized 23 firearms and ammunition from his home, following tips about his fascination with past school shooters and threats to kill. Police found unsecured handguns and tactical rifles mounted on walls, along with loaded magazines in his room bearing writings referencing mass shootings, including Columbine. Social media posts dating back to June showed the boy displaying weapons, dressing like past shooters, and expressing intentions to kill, such as "when I turn 21 I am going to kill people." The boy pleaded not guilty to five charges, including four felonies, and remains in detention pending a hearing. Authorities are investigating the parents for potential charges related to improper firearm storage. The boy's mother denied any intent to harm, suggesting the social media posts were attempts to appear "cool" among peers, while police emphasized the clear risk of a tragic incident had the situation not been intercepted.
