Colorado Man Threatening Mass Shooting Pleads Guilty

A Colorado man who threatened a mass shooting on Facebook is pleading guilty to a charge of making a terroristic threat as part of a deal with Utah prosecutors.

Christopher Wayne Cleary entered his guilty plea in a Utah County courtroom yesterday.

Cleary was arrested during a trip to Provo in January after making a Facebook post threatening to kill as many girls as he could see because he was having trouble finding a girlfriend.

By pleading guilty, Cleary avoids trial on a more serious charge that carried a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison.
