Thirty-one-year-old Christopher Stowe faces charges of making terroristic threats, based on court documents. Reports from CBS affiliate KENS and NBC affiliate WOAI reveal that Stowe contacted the San Antonio Police Department’s Tip411 line multiple times on Thanksgiving, leaving threatening messages from early afternoon until the evening.

In the first message, Stowe reportedly declared, “I’m done and I’m going to do a mass shooting,” adding that he felt driven to this point by years of frustration and difficult interactions. He expressed a grim resolve, saying, “I’m going to kill people unless the police kill me first.”

Stowe specifically targeted the iconic River Walk in San Antonio and a San Antonio Spurs basketball game with his threats.

Stowe threatened a mass shooting at San Antonio’s famed River Walk and a San Antonio Spurs NBA basketball game.

“My body count is hopefully gonna be over 100,” he reportedly said. “This is not a threat. This is a promise.”

He proclaimed himself to be the “next mass shooter.”

“I’m gonna kill a lot of f—ing people,” he said, per the complaint.

Cops tracked the messages to Stowe’s phone. Investigators reportedly determined the messages were “threatening in nature” and “caused reasonable fear of serious bodily injury and/or death” to the public.

Stowe was arrested on Saturday and taken to the Bexar County Jail where he has since posted a $50,000 bond. His next court hearing is set for Feb. 25.
