Las Vegas police arrest man, 33, who threatened to ‘shoot up’ Game 5 of Stanley Cup Final
Less than four hours before Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final was set to begin Tuesday on the Las Vegas Strip, authorities in Nevada arrested a man they say threatened to carry out a mass shooting at the arena where the Golden Knights would capture their first Stanley Cup that night.
In a series of rambling text messages, phone calls and social media posts on Tuesday, according to the report, the suspect threatened to “shoot up” the hockey game against the Florida Panthers in a massacre that would rival the October 2017 mass shooting on the Strip. That mass shooting — the deadliest in modern American history — left 60 dead and hundreds more injured.
Details surrounding those threats weren’t immediately available Thursday, but the court records show he was ordered to undergo a competency evaluation. Now, DeSavio faces another charge of threatening an act of terrorism or mass destruction after his arrest Tuesday, court records show. He also faces a felony charge of aggravated stalking and a gross misdemeanor charge for allegedly violating the restraining order against his relative.
