Police thwarted three potential mass shootings in the span of three days late last week, just two weeks after the US saw two devastating massacres that left 29 dead in 13 hours.
Cops arrested three men in separate incidents in Connecticut, Florida, and Ohio after receiving tips from the public.
The would-be shooters, ages 20 through 25, included a Connecticut man who posted on social media about his interest in committing in a mass shooting, a Florida man who threatened to shoot dead at least 100 victims and break the world record for longest confirmed kill, and a white nationalist who targeted a Jewish community center in Ohio.

Brandon Wagshol, 22, was arrested on Thursday in Connecticut after police say he posted on Facebook about wanting to commit a mass shooting and tried to purchase high capacity ammunition magazines.
Wagshol was charged with four counts of illegal possession of large capacity magazines and is currently being held on $250,000 bond.
He’s scheduled to appear in court on September 6.
A citizen contacted the Norwalk Police Department and claimed Wagshol was trying to purchase high capacity magazines from out of state.
