California State University, Northridge, police chief Anne Glavin spoke to Reuters a day after a judge increased bail to $1 million for the student arrested in the case, David Everson, 22. Bail had previously been set at $150,000.
"Between having a shotgun and explosive material, one has to assume this could have been, at minimum, a critical incident and at worst a tragic incident," Glavin said.
Everson's arrest came days before an Arizona college dropout opened fire at an event held by Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords at a Tucson shopping center, gravely wounding her and killing six other victims.
Officials with Pima Community College in Tucson say the alleged gunman, Jared Loughner, withdrew from their school last fall, after he was confronted about a disturbing video he posted online. Loughner had run-ins with campus police, but he never committed violence on campus, the school said.
