一名法官批准了针对加利福尼亚州卡尔斯巴德一名男子的枪支暴力保护令,该男子被当局指控与丰盛生命基督教学校联系枪击嫌犯。
卡尔斯巴德警方周二在圣地亚哥县高等法院提交了针对亚历山大·查尔斯·帕芬多夫的枪支暴力紧急保护令申请。根据ABC新闻获得的法庭记录,美国联邦调查局特工在声称“他被发现与威斯康星州麦迪逊校园枪击案嫌疑人娜塔莉·萨曼莎·鲁普诺(Natalie“Samantha”RUP now)密谋大规模枪击案”后,“阻止并拘留了”他。
据称,帕芬多夫向当局承认,“他告诉鲁普诺,他会用炸药和枪武装自己,他会以政府大楼为目标,”卡尔斯巴德的一名警官在保护令申请表上写道。
该官员称,美国联邦调查局特工看到了帕芬多夫发给鲁普诺的信息。帕芬多夫没有被指控犯罪。
据称,15岁的Rupnow周一早上在丰盛生命基督教学校用手枪开火,打死了一名同学和老师。另有六人受伤。
当局称,她死于自己造成的枪伤。
警方仍在调查动机因为枪击。
限制令要求Paffendorf在收到命令的48小时内将所有枪支、弹药和弹夹交给执法部门,或者“将它们出售给或存放在有执照的枪支经销商处”。
卡尔斯巴德警察局周四在一份声明中说,“卡尔斯巴德不是这次调查的牵头机构,但我们正在与我们的联邦伙伴沟通,我们不认为我们的城市面临威胁。因为这是另一个机构正在进行的调查,目前没有其他细节可以分享。”
美国联邦调查局周四表示,它“不知道威斯康星州或加利福尼亚州与此事相关的任何持续威胁。”
该机构补充说,“麦迪逊警察局正在美国联邦调查局密尔沃基和圣地亚哥办事处、加利福尼亚州卡尔斯巴德警察局和其他执法合作伙伴的协助下,领导对威斯康星州校园枪击案的调查。由于这是一项正在进行的调查,我们没有任何进一步的评论。”
帕芬多夫的听证会定于1月3日举行。这名加州男子的律师信息没有立即公布。
Protective order issued for man accused of plotting attack with Madison school shooter
A judge granted a gun violence protective order against a Carlsbad, California, man who authorities allege was communicating with the Abundant Life Christian Schoolshooting suspect.
Carlsbad police filed the application for a gun violence emergency protective order against Alexander Charles Paffendorf in San Diego County Superior Court on Tuesday. FBI agents "stopped and detained" him after they allege "he was discovered plotting a mass shooting" with Natalie "Samantha" Rupnow, the suspected school shooter in Madison, Wisconsin, according to court records obtained by ABC News.
Paffendorf allegedly admitted to authorities "that he told Rupnow that he would arm himself with explosives and a gun and that he would target a government building," a Carlsbad police officer wrote on the protective order application form.
FBI agents saw messages from Paffendorf to Rupnow, the officer stated. Paffendorf has not been charged with a crime.
Rupnow, 15, allegedly opened fire with a handgun at Abundant Life Christian School on Monday morning, killing a fellow student and teacher. Six others were injured.
She died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said.
Police are stillinvestigating a motivefor the shooting.
The restraining order requires Paffendorf to surrender all guns, ammunition and magazines to law enforcement or "sell them to or store them with a licensed firearms dealer" within 48 hours of receipt of the order.
The Carlsbad Police Department said in a statement Thursday, "Carlsbad is not the lead agency on this investigation, but we are in communication with our federal partners, and we do not believe there to be a threat to our city. Because this is an ongoing investigation being handled by another agency, there are no other details to share at the moment."
The FBI said Thursday it is "not aware of any ongoing threats associated with this matter in Wisconsin or California."
The agency added, "The Madison Police Department is leading the ongoing investigation into the school shooting in Wisconsin with the assistance of the Milwaukee and San Diego field offices of the FBI, the Carlsbad, California Police Department, and other law enforcement partners. As this is an ongoing investigation, we do not have any further comment."
A hearing for Paffendorf is scheduled for Jan. 3. Attorney information for the California man was not immediately available.
