NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Police are investigating after a person claiming to be a student posted a threat on the randomized video chat website Omegle to carry out a shooting at Millennium Brooklyn High School in New York.
“I’m going to shoot up my school Millennium Brooklyn High School New York with a MP15 assault rifle and a Glock 17 pistol with hundreds of rounds of ammunition in a few weeks and Livestream it on my Instagram,” the person wrote, according to a copy of the threat obtained by the New York Post.
An employee at the specialized Park Slope high school reported the threat on Friday morning, according to police.
“I hope to take at least 15-30 people with me mostly in the classrooms or hallways, plus some people fleeing the building,” wrote the poster.
The alleged student said they intend to have a shootout with police and listed the names of real students who they said they want to kill.
Park Slope Collegiate, a school that shares the building with MBHS, sent an email to parents about the threat.
The email claimed parts of the message are plagiarized from other recent threats against schools in New York City and Long Island.
Area schools have faced a slew of threats since the May 24 shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas in which 19 children and two teachers were killed.
The massacre has school districts and parents across the country nervous at the potential for violence and searching for answers as to how to protect children from mass shootings.
