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.
