socialThe Atlanta Police Department is investigating threats made against two Atlanta gay bars on Twitter, according to a report at the AJC. The threats come just days after the mass shooting at the Pulse bar in Orlando, Fl. that killed 49 people.

The threats, which referred to Sunday’s mass shooting at an Orlando gay nightclub, were made against TEN Atlanta and Blake’s on the Park by user @BrettTEdgerton, Atlanta police spokeswoman Kim Jones said.

“TEN or Blake’s could be the next Orlando,” the user said in one Twitter post. “You think I am the type to be the next ‘shooter’?”

The account has since been shut down. No arrests have been made and the tweets were reported to Homeland Security.
