A California judge has ordered a 20-year-old man, Alexander Paffendorf, to surrender his firearms and ammunition after he allegedly communicated with a Wisconsin school shooter, Natalie Rupnow, regarding plans to carry out an attack on a government building. Authorities discovered that Paffendorf messaged Rupnow, who was involved in a school shooting that resulted in the deaths of a student and a teacher at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin. The judge's order follows police investigations that revealed Paffendorf's intentions to execute an attack using a gun or explosives. It remains unclear if he has been arrested in connection with these threats.
