FBI says woman who threatened Columbine was ‘infatuated’ with the shooting. She’s still at large.

Authorities are searching for a woman who they say made a “credible threat” to Columbine High School and more than 20 other schools in Colorado’s Jefferson County, a scare that comes just days before the 20th anniversary of one of the country’s deadliest school shootings.

Police identified the suspect as 18-year-old Sol Pais, who they said traveled to Colorado and threatened the schools. They described her as "armed" and "extremely dangerous" and said she was last seen in the county's foothills, clad in camouflage pants, black boots and a black T-shirt.

Authorities said Pais is "infatuated" with the Columbine shooting, the Denver Post reported, and she apparently tried to purchase a firearm.
