Police arrested a North Carolina university student who admitted to planning a mass shooting at his school, authorities said Wednesday.

Officers charged Paul Steber, a 19-year-old freshman at High Point University in North Carolina, with two felony counts of having a gun on campus and an additional count for making threats of mass violence on Tuesday after a classmate reported him, police said.

Steber allegedly had ammunition and two firearms -- a 9 mm semi-automatic pistol and a double-barrel, 12-gauge shotgun -- in his dorm room when he was arrested. Authorities said he dose not appear to have any criminal history.

Steber, a Boston native, told authorities that he came to North Carolina because it was easier to gain access to guns, prosecutors said. He said he intended to carry out a shooting by Christmas.

The High Point Police Department praised the student who reported Steber to school administrators in a statement Wednesday.

Police did not offer specific details about his plans, but prosecutors said Steber desperately wanted to pledge a fraternity and the plot hinged on whether or not he got into one.

Just. Wow.

He had a muzzle loading percussion shotgun and an old Star 9mm. Whoopie. Reports say he told authorities that he was going to kill himself and his roomie if he wasn’t accepted into a frat.

It’s good that they got him, before he was able to go out and start shooting.

I am sure it is very difficult to find a shooter prior to him starting.
