New massacre ‘threat’

- Emily Saul

A Manhattan man attempted to extort a Colorado company by threatenin­g their employees with a “Las Vegas part 2,” authoritie­s said Wednesday.

Victor Casillas (inset) was arrested by federal agents Tuesday for repeatedly warning the company, which wasn’t named by officials, via e-mail that he intended to murder at least three employees, whom he referenced by name, before invoking the recent Las Vegas massacre.

“I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY GOD DAM FUNDS…A– HOLES…WELL GET READY 4 LAS VEGas part 2,” he wrote in one e-mail from Oct. 4, just three days after Stephen Paddock opened fire on a country-music concert, according to a Brooklyn federal court complaint.

Casillas was held without bail at his arraignmen­t. His lawyer declined to comment.
