The FBI and Corpus Christi, Texas, police have arrested a man they say was plotting an attack similar to one that killed multiple police officers.
Seth “Andrea” Gregori was charged with terroristic threats impeding public service/causing public fear or serious bodily injury and criminal trespass, according to KIII-TV.
The FBI and local police listed Gregori as a man. The Nueces County Jail listed him as a woman, suggesting that Gregori was a transgender individual.

Five Dallas police officers were killed in the 2016 incident referenced by the FBI, according to ABC. Seven people were injured.
In the 2016 incident, Micah Xavier Johnson told a hostage negotiator that he wanted to kill white people, with a special focus on police officers. He was later killed by a robot-delivered bomb.
Details of the alleged plot were not released.

🚩 Mass shooters don’t just snap. They spend time thinking about violence and they plan, prepare, and often share indicators before their attacks.
