A Lollapalooza security team staffer who received the message immediately told her supervisors, setting off a chain of alerts to Chicago police and the FBI.
Billie Joe Armstrong performs with Green Day on the final day of Lollapalooza, July 31, 2022, in Chicago.
It was shortly before 3 p.m. Friday when Janya B. Williams sent a message via her TextNow number to a witness’ cellphone which read:“Mass shooting at 4pm location Lollapalooza. We have150 targets,” according to prosecutors during Williams’ bond hearing Sunday. After the witness told Williams to send a screen shot of the Facebook threat, Williams allegedly created a bogus Facebook page under the name “Ben Scott,” wrote a post that said, “Massive shooting at Lollapalooza Grant Park 6 p.m.,” and snapped a screen shot of it, sending it to the witness’ cell, prosecutors said.
