Faculty and police officers who subdued a teenage suspect armed to the teeth at a San Mateo high school Monday morning were praised for their actions as authorities continued their investigation into why the teen made the attack.
The 17-year-old former student who detonated two pipe bombs at San Mateo's Hillsdale High School Monday morning was also armed with a chainsaw, a 2-foot sword and numerous other explosives, San Mateo Police Chief Susan Manheimer said.
