Army: Potential shooting at Joker film

Soldiers and families at Fort Sill, Okla., and other military installations around the country are being made aware of a credible mass shooting threat targeting "an unknown movie theater" on Oct. 4, an Army official told Task & Purpose on Sept. 19. A memo posted on its Facebook says there has been "disturbing and very specific chatter in the dark web" regarding targeting a theater during the release of the new Joker film next week. The memo says that CID was tipped off by a Texas county sheriff's office, but the information came from the Texas Department of Public Safety's Joint Crime Information Center. The memo does not specifically target Fort Sill. Other installations around the country may follow suit. (Source: MSN 09/24/19) UPDATE: The Army issued a Sept. 18 memo in response to social media posts from so-called "incels" that were uncovered by the FBI. https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/us-army-base-issues-warning-over-potential-shooting-threat-related-to-joker/ar-AAHOoWq
