Police arrested a man on Tuesday after he threatened to “shoot up” a polling place in Pennsylvania.
Local police said 48-year-old Christopher Thomas Queen showed up at the South Franklin Volunteer Fire Hall in South Franklin Township around 8 a.m. to vote, but was told he was not registered to vote in that area, according to KDKA.
Queen allegedly became angry, said he was going to get a gun and “shoot up” the polling place, and then quickly left, the station reported. Witnesses said the man was shaking as he left the polling station.
He was arrested at a separate location, facing charges of terrorist threats and disorderly conduct, police said.
He was charged with disorderly conduct and making terrorist threats.
Polls in Pennsylvania close at 8 p.m. Republicans are hoping to keep control of the House in this election, the first one since President Trump’s win over Hillary Clinton in 2016, but most polls say Democrats are likely to take the House.
