LOS ANGELES, Feb. 21 (Xinhua) -- Los Angeles County sheriff's officials said Wednesday that deputies last Friday thwarted a student's plot to open fire at El Camino High School in Whittier, 30 kilometers east of the Los Angeles downtown, just two days after the fatal mass shooting occurred in Florida.

At a press conference held in the headquarter of Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department (LASD), a large amount of weapons and ammunition that confiscated from home of the suspect were showed, including two AR-15 style assault rifles, two handguns and magazines able to hold more than 1,200 bullets.

Two brothers were in custody in this case, one is 20 years old and another is a student of El Camino High School, Sheriff Jim McDonnell said at the press conference.

He did not disclosed name of the 17-year-old student since he is still a minor, but saying that he is being charged of criminal threat. Enditem
