What are Written Threats to Kill or Injure?
Written Threats to Kill or Injure are committed when a person sends any written or electronic communication that contains a threat to kill or to commit bodily injury to another person.
As a South Florida attorney can further explain, a “written” threat can be communicated using almost any form of electronic communication- not just a traditional pen and paper.
Written threats to injure include threats to conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism that is read or viewed by another person. In the past, the threat had to be made toward a specific person or place, but that’s since changed.
