This report has been circulating:
"He is posting on line I will kill all of you as you killed my brother" #scanner
— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) April 19, 2013
Is this tweet what prompted the scanner report that the suspected posted, “I will kill everyone because you killed my brother”?

If so, it appears to be a fake:
The'online postings' you're hearing about are from @dzhokhar_A, which was created…today. It's fake: https://t.co/8Zjw8fOOe8
