Man charged with making terroristic threats at Las Vegas church

A man was arrested Wednesday after making terroristic threats at a Las Vegas church. Prosecutors say the man idolizes Route 91 Harvest festival gunman, Stephen Paddock, and told church members last month that he was planning “something big.” The man, 23-year-old Calin Hodges, was indicted Wednesday on a terrorism charge. According to the indictment, at least 40 people were at the church service when Hodges proclaimed he would become “the greatest mass shooter in history.” Police say they discovered a diary inside Hodges vehicle, that stated “Stephen Paddock had stolen his idea on 1 October” and that he also admired the Columbine High School shooters. Two judges have ordered that Hodges be held on $15,000 bail and confined to a mental health facility.
