suspected of plotting a mass attack against his school in the United States told reporters Wednesday he “only wanted to read comics.”
An Tso “Edward” Sun (孫安佐), the son of celebrities Di Ying (狄鶯) and Sun Peng (孫鵬), was detained on March 26 after a fellow student reported a threat he made of planning a mass shooting at his school on May 1. Subsequent searches turned up large amounts of ammunition and a handgun he built himself, according to police statements.
At a preliminary hearing at a Pennsylvania court Wednesday morning local time, Sun arrived in handcuffs, and when Taiwanese journalists shouted questions at him, he replied that he only wanted to read comics, the Apple Daily reported. [FULL STORY]
