The decision of releasing the man on bail has attracted widespread media attention as last month, a White mass shooter targetted Black people in Buffalo, New York – killing nearly 10 people.
After the arrest, CPD alerted the FBI and ATF.
“All I can do is be grateful that no one was shot, that none of our children – that I’m not calling their parents or visiting their homes because they are no longer with us,” said Coleman.
Podgorny is out on bail and does not have a prior criminal record. He is due back in court Friday, Aug. 12.
