Sedro-Woolley man arrested for internet threat on schools

A Sedro-Woolley man is in jail after threatening to shoot up every school within a hundred miles just hours after the Newtown, Connecticut, massacre.

The 19-year-old man thanked Connecticut shooter Adam Lanza in a Facebook post Friday night, and then he wrote that if gun laws are changed because of the massacre he would get his sawed-off shotgun and shoot up every school within 100 miles of Sedro-Woolley.

Q-13 reports the man turned himself in to police Sunday morning. He told detectives he is an internet troll that likes to post provocative statements to get a rise out of readers.

It's not known if the man has any weapons. He is facing a court hearing Monday for felony harassment.

    ...do we need this one? Take him out back and shoot him up. This world has too much of this trash was we have painfully seen. Get rid of them.
