A father and his teenage child were arrested after reports of a school shooting threat in San Diego led to the discovery of assault weapons and several untraceable guns at the family’s home, police said Tuesday.
The teenager was arrested Friday after police were called to Rancho Bernardo High School “to investigate reports of a student making verbal threats of a school shooting,” the San Diego Police Department said Tuesday in news release. The student was booked into juvenile detention, police added.
The student’s 45-year-old father was arrested and faces charges including possession of illegal firearms, manufacturing assault weapons and possession of a destructive device, police said in a news release Tuesday. CNN is not naming the father pending the availability of charging documents.

After authorities learned of the school shooting threat, they obtained a search warrant for the teen’s home to determine whether the teen had access to any weapons. Authorities located multiple weapons, and a special team of explosives specialists were called in to secure the scene.

Ghost guns are untraceable, self-assembled firearms, often put together with parts sold online. The weapons have been one of many issues facing regulators and policymakers trying to address gun violence.
Last year saw at least 82 school shootings in the US, and there have been three so far this year, according to a CNN analysis.
With gun violence changing day-to-day life in and out of the classroom, schools and parents are attempting to take safety into their own hands. Experts have been urging that students and staff need to be more vigilant so they can spot warning signs to help prevent yet another tragedy.
Rancho Bernardo High School Principal Hans Becker praised the students who reported the shooting threat, according to a message sent to parents at the school, which serves around 2,400 students, and obtained by the San Diego Union-Tribune.

They found fully automatic and semi automatic select fire rifles?
[[several un-serialized firearms commonly referred to as ghost guns, and other assault weapons]]
So any gun with serial number scratched off is an ‘assault weapon’ now?
Were they actual ghost guns? Or guns with serial numbers scratched off?
Lock em up.
Products of our wonderful culture.
No such thing as a ghost gun.
As a parent myself, I can say that looking back on these little bonding moments with a child are the memories we cherish.
Dont any of you think its odd that there are suddenly all these violence stories?
When do school shootings happen?
Now parents are joining in on some of these things?
This all seems normal to everyone but me?
Im sure fedgov will have a solution for everyone very soon.

82 school shootings the last year?????
Now parents are joining in on some of these things?
I'm guessing the cops came to arrest the kid and search the house. Then found dad's guns.
Bet he ain't happy with the kid.
So...reading the text, the father didn’t make any threats unlike what the headline implies..
Lots of smoke, very little light so far.
I am cynical and suspicious. Let us see what was actually found.

It’s a Teaching Moment
Th3y probably got wind that th3 family had guns, and needed an excuse to raid his home. TH3 whole purpose of banning certain guns like semi automatic “scary looking guns” like ar-15’s is no so authorities can mass invade homes searching for “illegal guns” all at once, but so they can make searches for other things and stumble across the banned guns and charge he person with multiple felonies, meaning they can never own a gun thereafter. If authorities ride to go door to door co fiscat8ng and arrest8ng, word would get out and there would be mass resistance, but arresting people here and there and charging them with felonies wouldn’t lead to mass resistance, so now they use excuses to et into people’s homes if they get wind that an “illegal gun” might be there.
Not true- I saw an old west ghost Carrying 2 six shooters.
