India, May 28 -- An 18-year-old Tampa man has been taken into custody after allegedly threatening to carry out a mass shooting at a school in a social media post. The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office arrested Oscar Nygard after receiving a tip about a post made on X.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post, "The tip stated an X account made a post threatening a mass shooting of "little girls at a school" and for "setting the record for most females killed in a single mass shooting. #teamHCSO traced the post to a home in Tampa, where Nygard admitted to posting the messages on the account."

"Threats like this strike fear into our communities and will never be treated as a joke," said Sheriff Chad Chronister. "...
