A man in Minneapolis showed up to a Jewish Temple on Thursday with a gun but then ran away before he could be apprehended after he saw security present.
The 21-year-old was later identified as Jaden LeBlanc, the same man who called threatening to shoot up the same Jewish Temple back in September.
Here’s the news from MPD:
On September 11th, staff at Temple Israel reported to the MPD they had received several phone calls from an individual threatening to “shoot up” Temple Israel. An investigation immediately began into the threats made.
On October 3rd, an officer working the special detail to provide extra patrols around Temple Israel was notified by security that there was a man outside who they saw with a firearm. The man fled the area before officers were able to arrest him.
Investigators learned the man with the firearm was the same man who made the threatening phone calls. He was identified as 21-year-old Jaden LeBlanc.
On October 4th, members of the Southside REACT team located the man and arrested him for terroristic threats. A gun was not recovered. He was booked into Hennepin County Jail and charges will be submitted to
