Teen Arrested For Allegedly Plotting Mass Shooting At California High School
Berkeley Unified School District (BUSD) Superintendent Brent Stephens released a statement on Tuesday.
“As the police investigation proceeded last week and culminated in an arrest yesterday, we have maintained very close contact with BPD,” Stephens noted. “Throughout the investigation period, we were assured that this individual did not pose an immediate threat to the Berkeley High School community.”
“We are committed to conducting our own separate investigation, within the parameters of our authority as a school district, and as the evidence warrants, pursuing all possible steps, including discipline, that will support student and community safety,” he added.
It’s currently unclear whether the suspect and those he tried to recruit were students at Berkeley High School.
