(CNN) -- Police have taken into custody a 14-year-old boy who is suspected of
planning a "Columbine" type event at a Pennsylvania high school, a police spokesman
said.

Police took a 14-year-old boy into custody after a search of his home turned up dozens of
weapons.

Police in Plymouth Township near Philadelphia took the boy into custody after a search of
his home turned up a number of weapons, including a 9 mm rifle with a laser scope and
dozens of air guns, said Deputy Chief Joe Lawrence.

Police also found an operational hand grenade, three other hand grenades in the process
of construction, bomb-making equipment, manuals and 30 powered weapons that fire
BBs.

The boy's mother bought the assault rifle for him several weeks ago at a gun show, police
said. No ammunition was found for the rifle.

The grenades were made with plastic casings that authorities believe the boy bought on
the Internet, Lawrence said. The operational hand grenades included black powder, BBs
and a fuse believed used in fireworks.

Lawrence said police are also investigating whether the boy's mother bought him black
powder used in the grenades.

The boy was making the grenades in his bedroom, he said.

In addition to the weapons, authorities found a hand-painted Nazi flag and a video about
the Columbine shootings, District Attorney Bruce Castor said. Watch Castor explain why he
is 'very upset' with the parents

"It is my judgment that this individual considered that something to be glorified and was
doing so," he said.

Two students opened fire at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, on April 20,
1999. They killed 13 people and wounded 23 others before killing themselves.

The 14-year-old is expected to appear in juvenile court Friday to face charges that could
include making terroristic threats, criminal solicitation, weapons possession, and
possession and manufacturing of weapons of mass destruction, police said.

If he's found delinquent, he could face jail time and counseling.

The boy's mother and father may face criminal charges pending an investigation, police said.

Police acted on a tip they received at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday from a Plymouth Whitemarsh
High School student and his father, school officials said. The 14-year-old was taken into
custody at his home about 10 p.m.

"The boy who gave the tip was one who was trying to be recruited," Castor added. "He was
a friend of the boy in the loosest terms."

Officials said they think the tip was prompted by Wednesday's shooting at a school in
Cleveland, Ohio.

"We have no information at this point that leads us to think this is other than an isolated
individual who was trying to recruit others to help," Castor said.

School officials said the boy is not a student at the school.

"This was a youth in the community who has not been enrolled in school since spring of
2006," according to Dave Sherman, spokesman for Plymouth Whitemarsh High School.

The school has an enrollment of 1,591 students in grades nine through 12. No classes are
being canceled because of the incident, school officials said Thursday.

Plymouth Township is about 15 miles northwest of Philadelphia.

A high point carbine could ruin your day... a 9mm gets pretty fair velocity out of that long barrel.

That said, the rest of it is airsoft, and the media are just as gun-stupid as they ever were.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

When you look at this story and see the amount of sheeple manipulation that is going on it is just sobering. 99.99999% of the people out there that viewed this story today do not realize that only one gun in the picture is an actual firearm. all the uninformed know is that this kid had a lot of "guns" and he was getting ready for some badness. Pavlov lives..... and we will pay for it.

Everything on the table is fucking airsoft.

The hi-point carbine is probably the only real gun the kid had. What a fucking stupid story.

Sadly - the general public thinks that anything that is not marked with orange or some other neon color is real, and anything that shoots something -big or small- is verrrry real, so in their eyes this kid was loaded to the teeth.

And assault rifle?? More like a genetically defected excuse for a rifle...

NORRISTOWN, Pa. — The mother of a 14-year-old who authorities say had a cache of guns, knives and explosive devices in his bedroom for a possible school attack was charged Friday with buying her son three weapons.

Michele Cossey bought her home-schooled son a .22-caliber handgun, a .22-caliber rifle and a 9 mm semiautomatic rifle, authorities said. The teenager felt bullied and tried to recruit another boy for the possible attack at Plymouth Whitemarsh High School, authorities said.

Acting on a tip from a high school student and his father, police on Wednesday found the rifle, about 30 air-powered guns, swords, knives, a bomb-making book, videos of the 1999 Columbine attack in Colorado and violence-filled notebooks in the boy’s bedroom, Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce L. Castor Jr. said.

Cossey, 46, of Plymouth Meeting bought the rifle, which had a laser scope, at a gun show Sept. 23 and provided police with a receipt, investigators said in court papers.

The teenager said the two .22-caliber weapons were stored at a friend’s house.

The teen was ordered Friday to remain in juvenile detention.

His mother was charged with unlawful transfer of a firearm, possession of a firearm by a minor, corruption of a minor, endangering the welfare of a child and two counts of reckless endangerment.

Castor has said he does not believe an attack was imminent or would occur at all.Then why charge anyone? Oh yeah, we gotta put on this dog and pony show for the media.

He said Friday that the teen had a “disturbed mind.”

“This was a smart kid that clearly believes he was picked on and was a victim,” Castor said. “He had psychological issues and began to act out on those feelings.”

Police, who searched home with the permission of the teen’s parentsBIG fucking mistake. Make them get a WARRANT., also discovered seven explosive devices Castor has described as homemade grenades: plastic containers filled with pellets to which gunpowder could be added.

Authorities said one grenade was operable and the others had been in the process of being assembled.

The search did not turn up any ammunition for the most dangerous firearm in the bunch, the assault rifle.

The teen previously attended middle school in the district but had been taught at home for more than a year after voluntarily leaving school, Castor said.

The arrest came the same day a 14-year-old in Ohio opened fire at his Cleveland high school, wounding four before killing himself.

This is just SO FUCKED on so many levels and sets a dangerous precedent for ALL of us with kids. Just based on one freaking tip from a 14 year old, a mother is charged with unlawful transfer of a firearm, possession of a firearm by a minor, corruption of a minor, endangering the welfare of a child and two counts of reckless endangerment. For buying your son a rifle??? For owning weapons in your own house??? Now she is going to have to pay tens of thousands of dollars in lawyer fees to get out of this bullshit and she has no recourse whatsoever.

This is one of those "it can happen to you" situations.

I actually grew up 10 miles from that Plymonth Whitemarsh High School. My best friend went there in the 90's. We used to call in "Pot World", they were known for there classes for teenage mothers and lots of drugs. Course this kid was home schooled and I guess wanted to honor the Columbine killers, its just sad IMO
