Police are investigating a threatening note left on a U.S. service member’s car windshield in Georgia, just three miles from Dobbins Air Reserve Base.
Cobb County Police Officer Alicia Chilton said the letter was found on a vehicle that had a military license plate parked in a business complex parking lot on Powers Ferry Road, a local Fox affiliate reported.
Lacking punctuation and capitalization, the letter read, “dear american soldier, death to you coward women child killer and all the american military / mohammad will show no mercy on you / attacks will come full force / death is to come to you,” Fox reported.
Officer Chilton said she could not confirm the contents of the note because it was considered evidence, the New York Daily News reported.
“It would be like someone taking a picture of the murder weapon and printing it,” she said.
She also declined to say in what branch the military member served.
The Marines and the Navy have considered eliminating vehicle decals to enter military bases as a safety precaution, the Daily News reported.
The note was found Monday, just days after Mohammad Abdulazeez went on a shooting rampage at a reserve base and recruiting center in Chattanooga, Tennessee, killing five military personnel.
Cobb County Police said they are working with military police on the investigation.
