A person claiming to be a student of an elite Brooklyn high school has threatened to shoot it up and police are now investigating the threat that was posted on social media.
“I’m going to shoot up my school Millennium Brooklyn High School New York with an 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 on the site Omegle on Thursday
An employee at the Park Slope school reported the post to police at 9 a.m. Friday, an NYPD spokeswoman confirmed.
“We’re investigating it,” Detective Denise Maroni said.
The post also said the shooter would blast “dancin military-style and abba gimme gimme eurobeat” music during the shooting.
“I hope to take at least 15-30 people with me mostly in the classrooms or hallways, plus some people fleeing the building,” the post said.
The alleged wannabe shooter also vowed to not surrender to police and said they would “shoot through the windows to get them and before I do it I’ll send a link to my stream to everyone.”
The person then wrote the names of more than a dozen students that would be killed, the New York Post reported.
An employee from Park Slope Collegiate sent parents an e-mail informing them about the threat.
“Last night, an unknown person posted a threat to one of the schools on our campus, Millennium Brooklyn High School, on a site called Omegle,” the message reads.
“The post appears copy and pasted from social media threats that have been made in previous months to schools throughout our area, but it does include the school name and the names of some students. We are taking the threat seriously…”
Since the Robb Elementary School shooting that occurred in Uvalde, Texas there has been a series of mass shooting threats for both Long Island and New York City schools.
