The students feared Perez had access to firearms, as well as being capable of carrying out his threats. The students thought Perez was going to target the Every 15 Minute presentation when students would be massed together.

Officers contacted Perez at his residence regarding the threats. Perez admitted to making the threats via twitter. He also admitted to Tweeting he was going to shoot up the school, as well as target three specific students. A search of Perez’s residence only revealed a pellet gun.
