Connecticut authorities arrested a man who they said was interested in committing a mass shooting, had weapons and tactical gear, and made his intentions known on Facebook.
Brandon Wagshol, 22, was detained Thursday after a tip from a citizen that he was trying to buy large capacity rifle magazines from out of state, the FBI and the Norwalk Police Department said.
Wagshol has been charged with four counts of illegal possession of large capacity magazines, and is being held on a $250,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in court September 6.
CNN has reached out to the prosecutor and defense attorney.

Yikes.

Seems like a cry for help by posting it on Facebook. Hopefully he'll get some help now.

Good

This shit shouldn't be ignored.

I think they only popped him because he has a long history of talking shit directly to and about the FBI on twitter and making threats to them. There have been numerous other shooters who fit his profile and were on their watch list and they never did anytrhing until after the blood was dry.

Crosland also said the report did not include any of Wagshols Facebook posts in question.

What I understand is that he didnt make any comments on Facebook, but there might have been other memes, as they call it, that he might have re-posted, but he didnt make a statement on Facebook as related to any mass shooting.

I've been following this closely as Norwalk is about 40 min away from me. Allegedly the police report didn't have anything from Facebook in it.

All they've got him on really is the 4 charges for the standard capacity magazines he bought out of state
