Nearly 30 mass threat arrests after El Paso, Dayton (ASL – 8.22.19)

Transcript

Authorities are taking proactive measures to try and prevent mass shootings.

In less than three weeks, more than two dozen people were taken into custody after violent threats or talking about attacks.

Police in Long Beach, California stopped a man they say was planning a shooting spree at a Marriott Hotel where he worked as a cook.

A search of the suspect’s residence in the city of Huntington Beach led to the seizure of multiple high-powered firearms, hundreds of rounds of ammunition as well as tactical gear.

A 15-year-old boy in Volusia County, Florida is in juvenile detention after police say he made an online thread to bring a gun to school.

And police in Tempe, Arizona took a man into custody after they say he threatened to blow up an Army recruiting center.

These three individuals are among the more than two dozen people arrested over threats to commit mass attacks.

These threats have all occurred since the fatal shootings in Daytona and El Paso earlier this month.

The FBI issued a warning earlier this month asking the public to report to law enforcement any suspicious activity that is observed either in person or online.
