The copycat threat lasted about two weeks, says former FBI agent

A retired FBI agent said the threat of a mock attack remained high for about two weeks after a school shooting.

“Studies have shown that, in general, imitation lasts for…maybe two weeks,” retired FBI special agent Michael Tabman told Fox News Digital. “That is when we are most at risk of being copied, and there are many factors that contribute to why there is a lot of copy, but the risk is there.”

Officials in California and Colorado raised concerns about an attack, and Denver police arrested two people on Thursday and confiscated paintball guns after reports of a weapon on campus.
