High Point University student Paul Arnold Steber has been arrested and charged after reportedly planning to carry out a mass shooting. 

After authorities found two guns in his dorm on Tuesday night, the North Carolina freshman was charged with two felony counts of weapons on campus and one count of making a threat of mass violence. According to High Point Police, Steber is being held without bond for 10 days. 

CNN reported that Steber was arrested after other High Point University students reported to school officials that the freshman had a 9mm semi-automatic pistol, a double-barrel 12-gauge shotgun and ammunition in his room. 

North Carolina NBC affiliate WXII reported Steber confessed to having “a timeline to ‘kill people’” during his virtual court appearance on Wednesday. 

“He told officers that he definitely had a plan that he had been thinking about since at least Christmas of last year and that he was not going to be an outcast anymore,” the district attorney told WXII.

As he plotted the shooting, the 19-year-old allegedly watched videos related to the 2015 shooting in Charleston, South Carolina, where nine Black people were killed during prayer service at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. 

According to the district attorney, he wanted to learn “what to do and what not to do as it related to a mass shooting.” The DA also noted Steber said he wanted to attend school in North Carolina because it was easier to purchase guns. 

Steber said he wanted to get into a fraternity and would kill his roommate and himself if his roommate was selected to join and he was not. 

Steber’s lawyer asked the judge for a pretrial release to get the freshman back with his family, however, the request was denied. A hold was placed on his release until a forensic evaluation was completed. 

WXII reports that Steber is still in custody in Guilford County Jail and his next court date is scheduled for November 1. 

According to CNN, the Boston teenager is one of the numerous suspects arrested for mass shooting threats in the weeks following the El Paso, Gilroy and Dayton terrorist attacks. The FBI has reported a dramatic increase in weekly tips since the shootings in early August.
