An Ontario teenager with an “obsession” for the Columbine High School shooting was charged with attempted murder and terrorist threat Wednesday after he allegedly formed a detailed plan to carry out a shooting at his school.
Authorities were initially contacted by an Ontario Christian High School official, who was alerted by another student who expressed concerns about 18-year-old Sebastian Villasenor, who was “showing signs of being fixated on school shootings and [having] access to weapons.”
“He researched tactical supplies and was in the process of choosing a specific date to carry out the school shooting, Chief Mike Lorenz of the Ontario Police Department said. “Ultimately when we arrested Villasenor at his residence, we collected numerous weapons.”
In addition to having “over a thousand rounds” of ammunition along with 11 weapons, including seven rifles and one shotgun, Lorenz said the teen carefully mapped out his violent plot.
”He was so obsessed with our response times that he Google-mapped how far it would be from the Ontario Police Department for our response time to the school,” Lorenz said.
