A 20-year-old resident of Bolivar, Mo. was charged Friday with three felony counts in connection to an alleged plot to shoot up a screening of the latest “Twilight” film. According to the Associated Press, Blaec Lammers had purchased movie tickets, two assault rifles, and 400 rounds of ammunition, and told authorities that he had planned to shoot people at a Sunday screening of the movie, as well as at a Walmart store.

Bolivar police wrote in the probable cause statement that Lammers’ mother contacted authorities Thursday. She was concerned that her son had purchased weapons similar to the ones used in the Aurora, Colo., movie theater shooting.
