Person Identified Who Allegedly Threatened Gay Atlanta Bars

Atlanta, GA -- Police say they have identified the individual who allegedly said that two gay Atlanta bars could be the site of another terrorist attack similar to the one in Orlando.

"We saw the posts yesterday and reported them to our Homeland Security Unit," said Atlanta police spokesperson Sgt. Kim Jones. "They have identified the individual and there is an active investigation going on. The person is cooperating with us.

"We are on top of this."

A vigil was held Sunday evening outside TEN Atlanta in honor of the victims in the early morning shooting at an Orlando gay nightclub. TEN Atlanta is also where a mass celebration was held June 26, 2015, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriage was a constitutional right.

The Pulse Orlando Night Club & Ultra Lounge was the scene Sunday of a massacre, apparently orchestrated by Omar Mateen. He killed 49 nightclub patrons and injured 53 others.
