An Illinois man was arrested after police officers investigated a Facebook post in which he allegedly threatened to "kill cops and innocent white kids."
Police arrested Aries Woodfin, 33, at a suburban Illinois home Friday after they found a .45-caliber pistol, several rounds of ammunition and what police described as a homemade shooting range in the basement, reports TV Station ABC7 in Chicago.
A message sent to the Cook County Sheriff's Office was not returned to the Daily News Sunday.
But the owner of the home told the station that gun belonged to her and that Woodfin does not pose a threat to the community.
