West Palm Beach, Fla., this past Sunday.Police in Miami were the first alerted to the threat made Sunday morning on the online video chat site Omegle.
The arrest came in Canada the following morning as the result of an international investigation involving the FBI and law enforcement agencies in West Palm Beach, Miami, New York, and Toronto.
The unnamed teenager reportedly was familiar with the Palm Beach area, but allegedly made the threats from Canada."I can say through his statement that there's no remorse," West Palm Beach Deputy Chief Rick Morris said of the teen at a press conference held yesterday announcing the arrest and reported by local WPBF. "I think his intentions were to commit a terrorist act, a hate crime."He added, "These people are not heroes that are doing the shooting.
They're criminals. Some of them are terrorists." Police released pictures they say showed the teen brandishing a gun during an Omegle chat session.
