"Individuals in online forums that routinely promulgate domestic violent extremist and conspiracy theory-related content have praised the May 2022 mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas and encouraged copycat attacks," Homeland Security said in a new terrorism bulletin.
It continued: "Others have seized on the event to attempt to spread disinformation and incite grievances, including claims it was a government-staged event meant to advance gun control measures."
Homeland Security warned that the "proliferation" of misinformation could combine with various factors to "inspire" violence, especially ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.
The department also said several attacks over the last few months have highlighted "the dynamic and complex nature" of the threats facing the US — which, officials say, is in a "heightened threat environment."
The department specifically cited shootings at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, and a church in Laguna Woods, California that authorities allege were fueled by racist hate.
