Snohomish County deputies and the FBI arrested the 20-year-old at his mother's home last Friday.
LAKE FOREST PARK, WA - A 20-year-old Monroe man was arrested recently in Lake Forest Park for threatening to carry out a mass shooting to kill Jewish people, according to a report. Dakota Reed is facing a malicious harassment charge, which is the state's hate crime statute.
Reed made the threats on social media using pseudonyms, according to the Everett Herald. He also owned multiple guns, including a shotgun and AR-15-style rifles.
“Gonna make the news some more and shoot some Jews in 2025,” he wrote on Facebook as recently as November, according to the report.
