Police learned initially of the plot by a concerned citizen who alerted South Pasadena police of the threat last August. “They just wanted to kill as many people as possible,” he said. No weapons were found when the students were arrested, but the pair believed they had access to a firearm belonging to a relative, Miller said. The young men, who were in juvenile hall under arrest, discussed using automatic weapons, knives, bombs and wearing bulletproof vests, according to Chief Miller.
The case was investigated by the South Pasadena Police Department.
