The teenage cousin of the perpetrator of the horrific 2022 school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, when 22 were killed, threatened to murder his sister and then “do the same thing” his cousin had done, reports ABC News. The 17-year-old, who was taken into custody for making terroristic threats, is reportedly on probation for an unspecified offense and he was allegedly intoxicated when he made the statements to his sister, according to affidavits from witnesses.
According to a recorded statement by the sister, the boy threatened to shoot her in the head and “stated that he would ‘shoot the school'” that was located across the street from the family’s home before adding ominously, “school is starting soon.” It’s unclear if there were weapons in the house or if the teenager had access to the weapons.
