TAFT, Calif. — A 13-year-old junior high student was arrested and several replica firearms and components were seized by Sheriff's investigators from a Taft home after the student allegedly threatened to "shoot up" a local school.

Documents obtained by 23ABC News show the student, who was returning from "several days of suspension," sent a text to another student that he wanted to "shoot up" Lincoln Junior High School.

The second student notified the Sheriff's Office notified of the threat on Thursday, April 11.

According to the documents, investigators searched the student's home and his mother's vehicle.

That search led to the seizure of a replica revolver and a replica M1 Garand rifle, as well as a plastic woodgrain replica long gun stock and a nylon holster.

The student was arrested on a charge of making criminal threats.

23ABC News has reached out to the Taft City School District for comment, but has not heard back yet. This story will be updated if and when the District responds.
