A 27-year-old Utah man has been arrested by the FBI after he threatened a mass shooting because he was upset the he is a virgin, officials say.
Christopher Wayne Cleary, of Provo, Utah allegedly made the threats on Facebook.
“All I wanted was a girlfriend, not 1000 not a bunch of hoes not money none of that,” he allegedly posted. “All I wanted was to be loved, yet no one cares about me I’m 27 years old and I’ve never had a girlfriend before and I’m still a virgin, this is why I’m planning on shooting up a public place soon and being the next mass shooter cause I’m ready to die and all the girls the (sic) turned me down is (sic) going to make it right by killing as many girls as I see.”
FOX 13 reported: Police said they were concerned for women’s well being, due to the fact that on Saturday there were several women’s marches taking place throughout the state of Utah. After consulting with a Utah County Attorney, investigators said they believed Cleary had made a threat of terrorism because he said he would be “shooting up a public place soon.”
Cleary was taken into custody by an FBI agent and members of the Utah County Major Crimes Task Force, the documents said.
Cleary was charged with suspicion of one count of threat of terrorism, a first-degree felony and violation of probation.
