SAN ANTONIO, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) - Rodolfo Aceves, 19, was arrested for allegedly threatening to carry out a mass shooting at the Amazon warehouse in San Antonio where he worked.

Aceves was taken into custody on June 27, according to a press release from the police. He faces a charge of terroristic threat causing fear, which is a third-degree felony punishable by up to 10 years in state prison.

Investigators said several of his co-workers told them he was planning on shooting up the delivery station in the 8200 block of Sous Vide Way. Detectives were notified and said they acquired credible information to believe Aceves' comments were a legitimate threat.

Additional information to support the threat was developed during the investigation by homicide detectives and they got an arrest warrant. After Aceves was arrested, detectives said they seized an AR-15 from where he was found.

5. Please, good people work there

6. I agree completely

And they do not deserve the labor-camp conditions that are imposed on them.

9. I think Amazon has changed and improved and their per hour is significant

Especially for an entry level job with a high school diploma (if that).

4. Good, but remove these guns frm the public

10. So, what legally can be done about him now?

Hold him for a while and then let him go? So he can plan more quietly next time?

It's a very good thing that this was prevented. I worry about what happens to people like this. They can't hold him forever. Will he be prevented from ever getting his hands on mass killing machines? This is Texas. Or do they just say, "No harm, no foul. Here are your guns back"?

I hope not, but the SCOTUS is screwing with the ability of states to create gun laws.

13. Attempted murder

would be my guess.

18. He was charged with making terroristic threats...

A conviction for that can put him away a decade.

19. RIF

He faces a charge of terroristic threat causing fear, which is a third-degree felony punishable by up to 10 years in state prison.

Felony conviction means he will not legally be able to buy or own firearms. Ever.

14. And a huge mass shooting was just foiled in Richmond, VA

15. You should not be able to own a gun until age 30.

That’s of course after you pass an intensive, week long training course.

We could exclude people who served in the military or peace corps. That would cut down on a lot of mass shootings, imo.

16. Does this mean we're replacing "going postal" with "going prime-al"? n/t

[Initech]

17. Let me guess - the AR-15 was acquired legally?

So just another responsible gun owner brought to you by the NRA!

[live love laugh]

20. Stopped for how long? He's going to get out and

get his gun back. Heaven help those around him.

21. I'm glad they are beginning to take the threats seriously. Happened in Richmond, too.
