LA man detained after social media post threatening violence over Biden win
Police officers in East Los Angeles detained a man Friday morning after he made threats of violence should Democrat Joe Biden be elected president, the Los Angeles Times reports.
The man, who remains unidentified, is accused of taking to social media and threatening to commit a mass shooting in the event that Biden is victorious in this year's presidential election.
In an Instagram video that has since been deleted, the man allegedly said, "If Biden gets in, I'm just going to do like a school shooter, just take out all these Democrats."
While the man was taken into custody as local police and the FBI look into the case and search his home, he has not been charged or formally arrested, according to NBC.
