Bruce Laveck, who was fired after making the threats, told coworkers he wanted to shoot up the mall and the upcoming Pride parade in Syracuse, police said in court documents. He also told coworkers that he would prefer to stab people at these locations so he could “see the life drain from their eyes,” police said.
Laveck, 21, of Syracuse, was fired after he made the comments, according to court filings.
District Attorney William Fitzpatrick Friday afternoon said Laveck was charged with making a threat of mass harm, a misdemeanor.
The DA said earlier he did not believe a felony charge was possible in this case because the threat was to a small audience. For a felony charge of “making a terroristic threat” the comments need to be “communicated to a mass audience,” he said.
Laveck was issued an appearance ticket for June 6 in Syracuse City Court.
On Thursday, the district attorney’s office filed a request for an Extreme Risk Protection Order against Laveck that was approved by Onondaga County Supreme Court Justice Robert Antonacci.
