Online threats not to be dismissed

(WWLP) - Are online threats taken seriously? This question has been raised in the wake of fitness club shooting near Pittsburg.

George Sodini killed three women and himself earlier this week after bringing in a gun to his health club.

Before the shootings, Sodini outlined his plot and reasons for his rafe against women on the internet.

Although many said they would dismiss threatening comments posted on the web, others said they would immediately contact authorities.

"I would call the police and let them know cuz I am very aware of what goes on around me," said Robbin Delgrande of West Stockbridge.

Sodini had a history of ranting about women and his failed love life online.
