A retired FBI agent speculates on a possible connection between the Wisconsin school shooter and a 20-year-old Carlsbad man detained for plotting a mass shooting. The agent suggests the two individuals, though geographically separated, may have shared similar ideologies and targeted the same groups.
A retired FBI agent wonders if the 15-year-old Wisconsin school shooter was using a video game or online chat room when she met a Carlsbad man, who has been detained for plotting a separate mass shooting .“This situation is really unusual that you had two people from across the country plotting separate and distinct events all on their own,” said Bobby Chacon, in an interview from Port Richey, Florida.
ABC 10News is not naming the Carlsbad man at this time because he has not been arrested or charged with a crime.“I'm not really surprised charges haven't been filed. I'm sure they're looking at that very closely. It takes a little bit of time,” said Chacon, who spent 27 years in the FBI.He said the gun violence restraining order is a quick legal remedy that allows police to remove guns from someone.
