What happened Police in Hillsborough County say they arrested a 14-year-old after a tip warned he had access to weapons and planned a mass shooting at a church near his home in Wimauma, Florida. Authorities would not name the church. The tip triggered a search and a juvenile arrest. Local coverage says law enforcement acted after someone reported concerning online activity tied to the boy.

Perdue's central claim Perdue told the grand jury he was shown evidence in May 2021 that he found convincing. He says the head of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation told him in November 2021 that the agency would not probe further because the governor did not want them to. Perdue quoted the GBI head as saying he was a team player. Those are strong claims. They point to politics getting in the way of fact finding. Who is Vic Reynolds and why it matters Vic Reynolds ran the GBI at the time Perdue says he spoke to him. Reynolds later wrote a letter to True The Vote and the Atlanta Journal Constitution that said a key source was not provided. Reynolds has since been named to a state judgeship by the governor.
