The San Bernardino County District Attorney is responding to criticism after a plea deal was reached with a young man accused of plotting a school shooting.
Ontario police said 18-year-old Sebastian Villasenor was planning a mass shooting at Ontario Christian High School, targeting specific students. He was arrested in February and charged with five counts of attempted murder. He will now be released on three years of felony probation after serving four months in jail. San Bernardino County District Attorney Jason Anderon said this plea is a better path forward and comes with more repercussions than a trial that could have ended with an acquittal.
'I understand where parents are coming from but our system doesn't always allow us to have both of those things and unfortunately it is what it is but that's why we tried to thread the needle on this case to work out the terms that we did today,' Anderson said Thursday. But one father of an allegedly targeted student disagrees with the decision and says Villasenor is a danger to the community.
