Feds: Man threatened to shoot white people at Boston rally

-

BOSTON (AP) — Federal prosecutor­s say an Indiana man who was angry about violence at a white nationalis­t rally in Charlottes­ville, Virginia, threatened to shoot white people at a conservati­ve free speech rally in Boston days later.

The U.S. attorney’s office in Massachuse­tts says 32-yearold Eric Radulovic was arrested Friday.

Court records say Radulovic posed as a member of the socalled “alt-right” in an online forum and threatened to shoot white attendees at the Aug. 19 Boston rally. They suggest Radulovic was trying to scare people away from the rally.

Prosecutor­s say he pretended to be sympatheti­c to the white nationalis­t movement but was actually angry about it and the death of a woman at the Charlottes­ville rally.

Radulovic was to appear in an Indiana court Friday. His attorney didn’t immediatel­y respond to phone or email messages Friday.
