3 Men In Their 20s Arrested For Making Separate Mass Shooting Threats!

In the wake of the Dayton, OH and El Paso, TX mass shootings, federal agents have been hypervigilant in their efforts to thwart other shootings.



Authorities in Ohio and Florida recently did as much when three men, each in their 20s, were arrested for posing potential mass shooting threats.



A 25-year-old Florida man, Tristan Scott Wix, was arrested after authorities got hold of text messages sent to his ex-girlfriend about a potential mass shooting plot.



Volusia County Sheriff Michael Chitwood remarked, “When you look at this kid’s background, he is the profile of a shooter,” adding, “He lost his job, he lost his girlfriend, he’s depressed, he’s got the ammunition and he wants to become known for being the most prolific killer in American history.



20-year-old James Patrick Reardon was arrested in Youngstown, OH after an Instagram video posted to Reardon's account allegedly showed a man firing multiple shots with the Jewish Community Center of Youngstown tagged in the video.



After investigating Reardon's social media accounts, authorities found white nationalist and anti-Semitic propaganda throughout alongside multiple videos of either himself or others firing off guns.



Reardon was charged with one count of telecommunications harassment and one count of aggravated menacing.



Lastly, Brandon Wagshol, 22, was arrested after police were tipped off that he was attempting to buy a large-capacity magazine.



Wagshol made his intentions on committing a mass murder via Facebook and was arrested with weapons, including a pistol, and a rifle equipped with a laser and scope, as well as other tactical gear in his possession.
