An exotic dancer in Florida is facing charges after she posted on social media about wanting to open fire into a crowd with an assault-style weapon.

Brein Basarich, 31, was arrested by police in Lakeland, Fla., last Wednesday after she wrote about her “vision” for a mass shooting on Tumblr, a microblogging website, authorities told local news outlets. Basarich, who performed at Plant City’s Showgirls Men’s Club, made the threats under the username “taking-lives,” Spectrum Bay News9 reported.
