Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- A threat was made against an Indiana elementary school the same day as the Newtown, Conn. shooting.

Indiana State Police say they found a stockpile of 47 guns hidden throughout 60-year-old Von Meyer's home.  The man had threatened to set his wife on fire and then "kill as many people as he could" at the elementary school a thousand feet away from his home.

Meyer was arrested Saturday after he made the threat.  He is being held without bail.
