PHOTOS: Verdict In: Newtown Gunman Adam Lanza Motivated By Norway Massacre
A 19-year-old woman was arrested on Wednesday after threatening to commit a Newtown-style mass shooting at Gateway Community College in Connecticut.
Amanda Bowden, who does not attend the college, posted a selfie on her Facebook page of her holding a gun. It has since been deleted. Federal authorities have searched her home and apparently found probable cause to arrest her for attempting to damage and destroy with explosives.
The college released a statement about the thwarted attempt:
On Feb. 5, GCC President Dorsey L. Kendrick was contacted by New Haven Chief of Police Dean Esserman, who informed Kendrick that the FBI discovered that a woman posted threats against the college on her Facebook page. Chief Esserman and GCC security had been contacted by the FBI, and were told that there was no imminent danger as a result of the post, but an investigation was underway. The chief requested that Dr. Kendrick and GCC security keep the matter confidential until the investigation was complete. The president, Administrative Dean Lou D’Antonio, and security staff continued to monitor the situation with the New Haven Police Department until they were informed that the woman …, who is not a Gateway student and has no apparent links to the college, had been taken into custody and booked on state and federal charges.

What the hell was she thinking! If Bowden was joking, not funny at all. And if she was serious, we’re glad the police caught up to her!
