NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – In the wake of the Newtown massacre, the NYPD is examining ways to search the internet for potential “deranged” gunmen.
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said that their searches would be similar to those being used to spot terrorist chatter online.
“And what we’re talking about is publicly available websites, chatrooms, that sort of thing,” Kelly said, adding that algorithms could be used. That will enable us to use, perhaps, commonly used terms that are used by people engaged in this sort of activity,” he said.
