Ex-Cop Arrested for Mass Shooting Plot

Authorities intercepted Gillum after he reportedly made 'terroristic threats' targeting Black people at the upcoming Jazz Fest.

Gillum, who was named 'Officer of the Month' in Orange County just last year, is now facing multiple felony charges.

New Orleans officials have assured the public that they are working closely with federal law enforcement to ensure the festival's safety.

The motive behind the planned attack is still under investigation, but the arrest has sparked widespread alarm across the region.

Festival organizers have applauded the quick response by police that prevented a potential tragedy.
