A New York woman has been charged after she allegedly threatened multiple LGBTQ businesses in the Denver metro area in early December, just weeks after the deadly Club Q shooting.
According to the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado, Sharon Robinson, 40, was arrested and charged with four counts of true threat in interstate commerce.
According to the indictment for Robinson, who was in New York at the time, called a Denver business on Dec. 8 with threats to “shoot your bar up next.” She then is accused of calling another business and using multiple anti-LGBTQ slurs, saying"they gonna shoot you next. Gonna shoot you next, you piece of ."
The fourth and final known call was to a Denver business, where Robinson allegedly stated,"You're gonna be shot up like Club Q," according to the document.
