SECURITY OFFICERS AT HIGH POINT
UNIVERSITY WERE REPORTEDLY
TIPPED OFF THAT A STUDENT HAD
GUNS IN HIS ROOM AND AS KATIE
BRACE REPORTS, WHEN POLICE
ARRESTED STEBER, HE ALLEGEDLY
REVEALED HIS PLAN.
Reporter: COLLEGE FRESHMAN
PAUL STEBER LIVED HERE IN THE
BACK BAY.
HE IS NOW ACCUSED OF
PLANNING A MASS SHOOTING AT HIS
UNIVERSITY.
HIS FORMER
CLASSMATES HERE IN BOSTON SAY
THEY HAD PREVIOUS CONCERNS.
GOOD AFTERNOON, SIR.
YOU'RE
IN COURT TODAY ON --
Reporter: PAUL STEBER SPENT
WEDNESDAY FACING A JUDGE INSTEAD
OF IN CLASS AT HIGH POINT
UNIVERSITY IN NORTH CAROLINA.
THE COLLEGE FRESHMAN IS ACCUSED
OF BUYING THESE TWO GUNS OVER
THE WEEKEND AND PLANNING TO
SHOOT UP THE CAMPUS.
A STUDENT
TIPPED OFF OFFICERS TO THE
WEAPONS AND AMMO IN HIS DORM
ROOM.
AND I MEAN YOU'D HATE TO
THINK ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF
NOBODY SAID SOMETHING.
Reporter: HE GRADUATED LAST
YEAR FROM THE NEWMAN SCHOOL, AN
EXCLUSIVE PREP SCHOOL IN THE
BACK BAY.
HE WAS VERY PRO GUN, SPENT A
LOT OF TIME LOOKING AT WEAPONS.
A LOT OF KIDS WERE SCARED OF
HIM.
WHEN HE FIRST JOINED THE
SCHOOL, HE WAS SOMEWHAT
OSTRACIZED AND BULLIED.
Reporter: SHE LIVED NEXT
DOOR TO THE STEBER HOME.
EVERY PARENT WORRIES ABOUT
IT, BUT I ALSO WORRY ABOUT THE
KIDS WHO ARE DOING IT.
Reporter: STEBER, NOW 19
YEARS OLD, HAS NO PRIOR CRIMINAL
RECORD.
HIS FATHER, WHO WAS IN
THE COURTROOM, AND HIS ATTORNEY,
HAD NOTHING TO SAY.
WOULD YOU GUYS BE WILLING TO
TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING?
NO.
THANKS, THOUGH.
Reporter: OFFICERS SAY HE
RECENTLY WATCHED VIDEOS OF MASS
SHOOTINGS AND THEY SAY STEBER
WAS TIRED OF BEING AN OUTCAST
AND HE BOUGHT THE GUNS BECAUSE
HE WAS UPSET ABOUT THE
POSSIBILITY OF NOT GETTING INTO
A FRATERNITY AT HIS NEW SCHOOL.
PEOPLE ARE KIND OF
UNCOMFORTABLE WITH IT, FOR SURE.
Reporter: THE UNIVERSITY HAS
EXPELLED STEBER AND HE IS NOW
HELD FOR TEN DAYS FOR A MENTAL
HEALTH EVALUATION.
