Abigail Hernandez, a 21-year-old New York woman, was arrested for threatening to shoot students at East High School in Rochester, police announced at a press conference Friday.
According to Rochester Deputy Police Chief La’Ron Singletary, Hernandez — an illegal immigrant shielded from deportation by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program — made the threat on East High’s Facebook page on February 16, two days after the horrific mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

Though East staff members reported the threat that day, police did not arrest Hernandez until February 20, as the threat was made through a fake Facebook account she created in January.
The threat from the fake account read, “I’m coming tomorrow morning and I’m going to shoot all of ya bitches.”
