SAN ANTONIO — A man is behind bars, accused of making threats on social media about a vigil planned for conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Police say the 19-year-old posted comments on Facebook, threatening to turn the event into danger.
Police say a Facebook post first tipped them off on September 15, just hours before a planned vigil for Charlie Kirk at UTSA’s main campus.
The vigil went on as planned, but the suspect landed behind bars.
The post appeared on the San Antonio Young Republicans’ Facebook page, the group organizing the vigil.
Arrest paperwork says that 19-year-old Xaelyn Dunbar responded to the thread with a chilling message saying, “I’ma make sure this won’t be a good or comforting vigil… y’all watch and see.”
Police say the threats didn’t stop there—Dunbar alluded
