(19 Nov 2018) A Taiwanese exchange student accused of threatening to "shoot up" his high school near Philadelphia has been spared additional time in prison but will be deported. An-Tso Sun has been in custody since March after school authorities in Upper Darby were alerted to a threat he had made. The 18-year-old called the talk a joke, but authorities found more than 1,600 rounds of ammunition, as well as weapons, in the home of his host family. A federal judge Monday declined a prosecution request to sentence him to two or more years in prison for his guilty plea to a firearms-related charge but ordered him deported. He agreed to the deportation as part of a plea agreement. The judge cited his youth and a strong family support system. Sun's parents are actor and assistant film director Sun Peng and actress Di Ying.
