A Texas man was arrested for telling the vendor that he was going to “hunt humans” after buying a firearm.
The Laredo Police Department reported through a press release that on May 25, Javier Torres, 37, responded to an ad on social media with the intention of buying a firearm optic (a viewfinder).
The man met the seller and he allegedly said he was going to “hunt humans”.
After the strong statement of the purchaser of the weapon, the seller called the police to report what happened, the reports point out.
A day later, an investigation into the case was opened. According to the authorities, a search and arrest warrant was executed against the subject’s home on charges of terrorist threats.
Ultimately, the man was arrested without incident.
As a result of the search of Torres’ house, the police reported that they recovered several pistolsextended magazines, long rifles, a flak vest with armor plates, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.
The authorities added that the man resides within 1,000 feet of an elementary school, although there were no direct threats to faculty or students.
The investigation of this case is still ongoing.
These statements cause even more stir these days, after the United States has registered a wave of shootings in various placesleaving more than two dozen dead.
One of the most terrible was the one that occurred on May 24 at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, where an 18-year-old boy named Salvador Ramos opened fire, killing 19 children, two teachers and leaving 17 others injured.
This shooting is the second worst to happen in a school in this country, after the one that took place in Sandy Hook, in 2012, where 26 people died.
