Man Arrested In Probe Of Threats Against Los Angeles Elementary Schools

Posted: Updated:

LOS ANGELES (AP) - A California man has been arrested after threats against Los Angeles elementary schools were posted on Facebook.
    
Los Angeles police say a 24-year-old Pomona man is being held on $500,000 bail for investigation of making criminal threats.
    
Police and FBI agents went to the east Hollywood home of the suspect's father after a resident notified authorities about the threatening postings that referred to the deadly school shootings in Connecticut.
    
Authorities say the father gave permission for a search, and nine weapons were confiscated, including rifles, a shotgun and handguns.
    
No weapons were found at the suspect's home.
