Sol Pais, 18, made threats to commit an act of violence in the Denver metropolitan area just days before the 20th anniversary of the attack that killed 13 people, FBI says
An officer from Jefferson County, Colo., Schools listens on his radio as students leave Columbine High School late Tuesday, April 16, 2019, in Littleton, Colo.Denver-area public schools will be closed Wednesday as authorities search for a young Florida woman who flew to the city and bought a gun after becoming “infatuated” with the mass shooting at Columbine High School.
All schools in the Denver area were urged to tighten security because the threat was deemed “credible and general,” said Patricia Billinger, a spokeswoman for the Colorado Department of Public Safety. Columbine and more than 20 other schools outside Denver lock their doors for nearly three hours Tuesday afternoon before Wednesday’s complete closures were announced.
On Tuesday, some schools released their students after additional security was called in and cancelled evening activities or moved them inside.Authorities said Pais was last seen near Columbine – in the Jefferson County foothills outside Denver – wearing a black T-shirt, camouflage pants and black boots. They appealed for anyone seeing her to call an FBI tip line at 303 630-6227, and said she is too dangerous to be approached by civilians.
The FBI’s Rocky Mountain Safe Streets Task Force issued a notice Tuesday describing Pais as “infatuated with Columbine school shooting.”Sheriff’s spokesman Mike Taplin said the threats she made were general and not specific to any school.
