A 74-year-old Pennsylvania man, Paul J. Gavenonis, was arrested after allegedly threatening to kill former President Trump the day before a rally at Penn State. Gavenonis made the alleged threats while trying to buy a parking pass, stating that he “hates Donald Trump” and would like to shoot him. A witness overheard these remarks and alerted the Penn State Police, who then interviewed Gavenonis and members of the U.S. Secret Service. During the interview, Gavenonis reportedly laughed about Trump and the rally, stating he could possibly assassinate the former president. He also disclosed that he had a rifle at home. Gavenonis was charged with disorderly conduct and making terroristic threats and is currently being held without bail. He is scheduled to appear for a preliminary hearing at the Centre County Court. The incident highlights the heightened security concerns surrounding political rallies and the importance of taking threats seriously. Former President Trump, who was the target of the alleged threats, has continued to hold campaign rallies despite the incident. Security measures, including cooperation with law enforcement and the Secret Service, are crucial to ensuring the safety of individuals at public events.
