Superintendent Michael Chitwood unveiled what police seized in An Tso Sun's bedroom
Police say Sun, who has been in the USA for five months, was reported after telling a classmate at his suburban Philadelphia high school: "Don't come to school on May 1, because I'm going to shoot up the school". Sun is a Taiwan native who is here on a student visa that was issued in July 2017 and is good through July 2022.
An Tso Sun came to the US from Taiwan five months ago to attend school, but he was arrested Tuesday after police say he threatened to "shoot up" his school and was stockpiling weapons in his bedroom. "We have zero tolerance for any threats at any of the schools".
An Tso Sun, 18, was arrested on Wednesday over his alleged plan to attack Bonner Prendergast Catholic High School, an $8,850-a-year high school in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania.
Sun also asked that same student how to buy a gun, he said. "He said, 'Just kidding.' I understand the heightened sensitivity, but he is not from here, he didn't possess the same social skills of what it is to grow up in the post-Columbine generation".
"Kudos to the person who stepped forward and helped to avert a tragedy", the police department said in a tweet.
Convinced that the teen's threat was serious, police obtained warrants, arrested Sun on Tuesday afternoon and then searched his host family's home.
According to the Upper Darby Police, the suspect, An Tso Sun, had a slew of items in his home including: a military-style ballistic vest; high-powered crossbow with scope and light; arrows; 29 rounds of 9mm ammunition; a strangling device; a "military" ski mask; and ear protectors for firing. Chitwood unveiled the seized items at Wednesday's news conference.

Bolton previously served as United Nations ambassador and the undersecretary of State for arms control and worldwide affairs. Chief Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White said the two "talked about the proposal, potentially".
Police are now determining if Sun was indeed planning an attack in light of recent discoveries after his arrest. Chitwood said Sun was undergoing a psychological evaluation at a Delaware County prison.
In February, he allegedly showed a classmate a "high caliber" bullet and a video of him with a flamethrower and mask, the superintendent said. "If we didn't stop him, he probably would have been able to buy a gun".
Police have spoken to Sun's host family, said to be a woman and attorney, but Chitwood could not divulge what their correspondence was because of that active investigation.
At the news conference, the police superintendent anxious aloud about what might have happened had a classmate not reported Sun.
