1000 rounds of ammunition, oh my.

Breathless story of a mass shooting averted by a veteran who lived in a snipers nest high rise apartment across from a LA park.

Police now say no evidence of mass shooting planned.

Still arrested for “illegal guns”, making threats.

Some guns were found in front of a window, according to law enforcement sources.

Oh well, there you go. Guess I had better make sure none of my guns are anywhere near a window.

(semi-sarcasm) They will define "near a window" as inside any structure with a window, regardless of distance from the window.

Even if you detach a scope from a rifle, put the rifle back in the safe, and use the scope to glass the sky for the 50,000-year green comet, in Lost Angeles you'd probably get reported as being an active shooter.
