NYPD Assessing ISIS Threat to Pam Geller

Wednesday, 06 May 2015 07:59 PM EDT

The New York Police Department says it is assessing a threat posted on a site that is related to the Islamic State group against blogger Pamela Geller.

Geller was the organizer of a purposely controversial cartoon contest about the Prophet Muhammad in Texas last weekend where two men started shooting before they were killed by police.

NYPD spokesman Stephen Davis says the threat named Geller specifically. He says investigators from counterterrorism and intelligence bureaus met with her Wednesday and will do a "comprehensive threat assessment" to decide whether it's credible enough to require security for Geller.

He didn't comment on the specific nature of the threat or what any security measures would look like.
