MANHEIM TWP., SCHUYLKILL COUNTY- A 17-year-old boy is under arrest after police say he planned to shoot his classmates.

The teenager is from Manheim Township. He attends Blue Mountain High School in Schuylkill County. Police say they were tipped off to the boy's plan by some students.

Police released photos of what was found when they searched his house. They found real and fake weapons along with military clothing and accessories.

People we talked with say they're not surprised. Francis Tyson from Pottsville says, "Nothing surprises me around here. Just growing into the district here, that their kids are doing stuff their parents don't know about. And when they find out it's too late.""

The teenager is now in the Schuylkill County jail. His bail is set at $100,000.
