UPPER DARBY, Pa. — A Taiwanese exchange student accused of threatening a shooting at his high school had ammunition in the home where he was staying and researched how to buy weapons, police said Wednesday. The 18-year-old student, An Tso Sun, threatened to “shoot up” the Monsignor Bonner and Archbishop Prendergast High School on May 1, Upper Darby police said. “Kudos to the person who stepped forward and helped to avert a tragedy,” the police department said in a tweet. Defence attorney Enrique Latoison said his client “had no intention or plans” to commit a school shooting and many items found were what he wore to school for a Halloween costume contest. “I don’t believe what he said rises to the crime of terroristic threatening,” Latoison said.
