Mass Shooting Plot Foiled in New Orleans

The arrest occurred just as the annual New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival was set to begin, prompting a massive security response.

Gillum, who was once named 'Officer of the Month,' had reportedly expressed recent threats to harm the Black community and was located at a hotel in Destin while en route to Louisiana.

Federal authorities are investigating the case as a potential act of domestic terrorism.

Festival organizers have praised the quick action of law enforcement, stating that they worked closely with officials to ensure public safety.
