BARNSTABLE, Mass. — A Cape Cod man who allegedly threatened to commit a school shooting is expected to face a judge Tuesday.
Justin Moreira, 29, of Hyannis, is slated to be arraigned in Barnstable District Court on charges including making terroristic threats.
Moreira’s arrest on Saturday stems from threatening posts on Facebook, according to investigators.

A search warrant was executed at Moreira’s home in Hyannis and he was taken into custody without incident. Police say no firearms were found.
