Yesterday evening, Corner Brook RCMP received a request for assistance from Interpol on an investigation involving threats of a possible school shooting. A specific school or location was not identified.
Information was received from an online gaming company reporting that one of the gamers had made threats during a live chat.
The investigation revealed 31-year-old Maxwell Fillatre, from Boom Siding, near Pasadena, as the source of the threats.
He was arrested overnight and will attend court today. The investigation is continuing.
