3 men arrested for making mass shooting threats (ASL – 8.19.19)

Transcript

Police in Youngstown, Ohio found an arsenal of assault rifles, large knives, a stockpile of ammunition and even a gas mask.

It was all found inside the home of James Reardon, a twenty-year-old self-described white nationalist who authorities say made a threatening post about a mass shooting at a nearby Jewish community center.

Reardon was on authorities’ radar after making a post on Instagram showing a man firing off a gun.

A local Jewish leader said it had a disturbing caption.

Police say Reardon attended the deadly 2017 rally in Charlottesville.

His arrest is the latest in a string of mass shooting threats.

In Florida police body cam footage shows the arrest of Tristan Scott Wix outside of a Daytona Beach grocery store.

The twenty-five-year-old was detained after police say his girlfriend alerted them to a series of text messages detailing plans to commit mass shootings.

She says he wrote chilling words like “I want to open fire on a large group of people.”

And in Connecticut, police arrested twenty-two-year-old Brandon Wagshol last week after receiving a tip that he tried to buy a large capacity rifle magazine out-of-state.

He’s been charged with illegal possession of large capacity magazines.

Investigators also discovered numerous weapons including a handgun and rifle, ammunition, body armor and tactical gear inside his home.
