Sun Peng, Di Ying visit their son in US jail
The 18-year-old was found to be in possession of 1,600 bullets and an assembled handgun
touched down in America on the night of March 30, and was said to have gotten emotional when they visited their son, 18-year-old Sun An Tso, in prison.
According to Taiwan media reports, the couple visited Pennsylvania Prison on the morning of April 2, and teared up when they saw their child dressed in prison garb.
An Tso was arrested by the US police last week (Mar 27), after police found suspicious items in his bedroom, which includes a crossbow, bullets and components of a gun. While all these items were legal in the states, An Tso was arrested on suspicion of planning a school massacre, as he was quoted to have warned his classmates to stay away from school on May 1, which was the day he planned “to shoot up the school”.
In latest developments of the case, the police have found more incriminating evidence against An Tso.
While the 18-year-old maintained that he does not own a gun at the time he was arrested—a statement backed up by his mother, Di Ying—the police uncovered an assembled handgun and a massive stash of 1,600 bullets in a duffel bag, in a bedroom of his host family’s residence.
