San Diego High School Shooting Threat Leads to Arrest of Student and Father

Unregistered Firearms, Explosives, and Rocket-Propelled Grenades Found in Family Home

San Diego police arrested a high school student and his father after the student allegedly threatened to carry out a school shooting at Rancho Bernardo High School.
Upon searching the family's home, police found a cache of unregistered, unserialized firearms, explosives, and rocket-propelled grenades.
The student's father, 45-year-old Neal Anders, is being held on $300,000 bond and faces charges including possession of a destructive device, possession of an assault weapon, manufacturing an assault weapon, and manufacturing a short-barreled rifle.
Authorities were alerted to the threat by fellow students who reported the suspect's alarming behavior and threats to school officials.
Despite the threat, classes at Rancho Bernardo High School are continuing as scheduled, with an increased police presence on campus for reassurance.
