Student arrested, charged with planning shooting at Southern California high school

A Southern California student was arrested over the weekend after police said they were able to determine that he was plotting a school shooting at Ontario Christian High School in San Bernardino County.

The 18-year-old student, who has been identified as Sebastian Villasenor, was arrested Saturday after Ontario Police Department investigators were able to determine that the student had made “viable threats” last Thursday, Feb. 8.

“What we discovered through the course of our investigation was that Villasenor had every intention of carrying out a school shooting at the Ontario Christian High School,” Ontario Police Chief Michael Lorenz said in a news conference Wednesday.

An investigation led them to the student’s home where they discovered multiple weapons, Lorenz said. In all, they recovered seven rifles, two revolvers, one handgun and one shotgun, as well as more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition.
