Craigslist Ad Threatens San Diego Gays, Says 'Orlando Was Long Overdue': Report

San Diego, CA — Police and the FBI are reportedly investigating a Craigslist post targeting the San Diego gay community, according to a news report.

The ad posted in the "Men Seeking Men" section of the San Diego section of the website mentioned the Orlando mass shooting and threatened that the same may happen in San Diego.

The ad has since been removed from the website, according to 10News, which first reported the post after a viewer sent the news station a screenshot:

"The post read: 'Orlando was long overdue. Cleanse your community of the filth that gives decent gay men and women a bad name. Those people were walking diseases, bug chasers, and thank god for AIDS and 9-11 and now Orlando. San Diego you are next…'"

San Diego police Chief Shelley Zimmerman issued a statement Wednesday afternoon about the posting.

"The San Diego Police Department is aware of (the) recent post on Craigslist (which) has since been removed," Zimmerman said. "We are investigating collaboratively with our law enforcement partners. The latest information remains (that) there are no known credible threats to the San Diego region."

The police chief urged the public to report any suspicious activity that could indicate that someone was planning such a shooting spree or any other crime.

"As always, we encourage our community (members that) if they see something, hear something or know something, to say something," Zimmerman said.
