At the time, Gray "expressed concern that someone is accusing him of threatening to shoot up a school, stating that he would never say such a thing, even in a joking manner," according to records of the investigation by the Jackson County Sheriff's Office, which had received a tip from the FBI about a threat to open fire in a local middle school.
The threatening comments were made on the social media platform Groomercord from an account associated with an email address that the FBI believed was owned by the teen, the records say. The teen told officers he had previously used Groomercord but got rid of his account months earlier "because too many people kept hacking his account and he was afraid someone would use his information for nefarious purposes," the records show.
The account flagged by the FBI featured a profile name written in Russian that, when translated, spelled out "Lanza," referring to Adam Lanza, the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooter, according to the records.
