A tipster reported Cameron Peterson idolized school shooters and could potentially become one himself.
A New Braunfels man has been indicted on gun charges after someone told the FBI that he could be plotting a mass shooting. The tipster reported that Cameron Peterson , 19, 'has severe emotional issues, idolizes violence and school shootings, and that he may emulate infamous prior mass shooters,' according to a criminal complaint affidavit. The tipster reportedly based the warning on secondhand information relayed by someone close to Peterson.
Ex-Texas State student eyed in domestic terrorism investigation in San Antonio The FBI interviewed Peterson on May 21 at a home in New Braunfels. During that interview, he allegedly said he smoked marijuana daily. The FBI did not arrest him that day but added him to a list of people in the National Instant Background Check System who are prohibited from buying guns.

Boone, of San Antonio, asserted that he was high on drugs when he made the post and was not serious about the threats, the affidavit says.
