A 17-year-old was arrested Thursday after threats he made while playing an online video game.

Ubisoft, a company that makes video games, notified the Odessa Police Department in reference to a man threatening to commit a shooting at a public school.

Officers located the male subject, identified as Nicholas Ramsey, who was transported to the Odessa Police Department to be interviewed by detectives.

Investigation revealed that while Ramsey was playing Rainbow 6 Siege, he stated “I guess I’ll go do mine now” and later stated “ima shoot up my school now”.

Ramsey explained to detectives that it was a bad joke in light of the shooting that occurred in Parkland, Florida.

When detectives asked Ramsey how he felt about making the statement he stated that he believes people are desensitized to violence these days, according to an affidavit.

Ramsey told police that he does not have access to firearms because his dad is a convicted felon who is not allowed to be around such weapons.

Ramsey is charged with Exhibition, Use, or Threat of Exhibition, a class A misdemeanor.
