ATLANTA (CBS46) -
A Michigan man was arrested after an FBI investigation, accused of threatening to travel to Atlanta to commit mass murder at CNN headquarters.
According to federal court documents, the man, from a Detroit suburb, made 22 calls to CNN about a week ago.
It began with claims of "fake news" and ended with threats of violence.
The man told a CNN operator, among other things, "Fake news. I'm coming to gun you all down."
He then called again, saying "I'm smarter than you. More powerful than you. I have more guns than you. More manpower. Your cast is about to get gunned down in a matter of hours."
He continued, "I am coming to Georgia right now to go to the CNN headquarters to f---ing gun every single last one of you."
Investigators were able to trace the caller and stop him before he was able to carry out any of his violent desires.
