Mike Tyson's Broadway Show Threatened By Colorado-Style Shooter
Tweet
BHR HollyWood Reports Police are on the search for a Twitter user who threatened to attack Mike Tyson's Broadway show, similar to the Batman movie theater rampage last month in Colorado.
The anonymous Twitter user posted a series of messages on July 29, declaring his intention to open fire at audience members at New York's Longacre Theatre on Broadway, where boxing champ Tyson's one-man show Undisputed Truth is running.
Among the suspect's threats was a post in direct reference to last month's shooting at a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, Colorado, for which gunman James Holmes was charged with murdering 12 people and injuring 58 more.
The unidentified Twitter user wrote:
"I might just shoot up this theater in new York I know they leave their exit doors unlocked. Ha now I gotta plan it step by step.
"I wanna kill alot of people...this s**t ain't no joke yo - I'm serious, people are gonna die like aurora."
NYPD have complained that their investigation is being hindered by a lack of co-operation from Twitter staff, which has so far refused to provide the individual's personal information.
''We'll cover the theater until we find this guy," police spokesman Paul Browne told The New York Post.
"We needed a name and we needed it fast. Twitter said no."
Executives at the website allegedly told NYPD in an email that they are withholding the information because they do not believe "a threat is present, specific and immediate". I'm Big Blac this is your BHR HollyWood Report
