A high-school senior has been arrested in Vancouver after posting a hit list with 117 names on Facebook.

More than 70 names on the list were identified as staff and students at Templeton High School attended by the arrested 18-year-old senior.

"No one really knew what it was for, but we could guess. And eventually he did tell us this was the order of people I'm going to kill," said fellow student Daniel Brown, who found his name on the list. "No one really took it seriously. Obviously, it does seem serious now."

According to the police, it is quite serious, as a search of the teen's home yielded a number of weapons, including a shotgun, machete, knives and metal batons. Police spokesman Scott Thompson says this is the most serious incident of this type that the Vancouver Police Department has ever dealt with.

Students are baffled as to why the teen would turn to violence. Even Daniel Brown, whose name appeared on the list, described the troubled teen as pretty friendly.
