Feds: Woman made death threats to Sandy Hook victim's parent

MIAMI - A Florida woman has been charged with making death threats against the parent of a child who died in the Sandy Hook school shooting massacre because she thought the attack was a hoax, federal authorities announced Wednesday.

Lucy Richards, 57, of Tampa was arrested Monday after a grand jury indictment on four felony counts of transmitting threats, the U.S. Justice Department said in a statement.

The threats were made in January 2016 - according to authorities - and included messages that said, "you gonna die, death is coming to you real soon," and "LOOK BEHIND YOU IT IS DEATH." Court documents added that another threat said, "there's nothing you can do about it."

The unidentified parent now lives in South Florida and the indictment said the threats were made in Palm Beach County.
