WASHINGTON (AP) — An Army veteran has been charged with threatening to shoot his wife and other people at the U.S. Capitol.
Court documents show that 33-year-old Michael Bogoslavski told investigators he’s suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was arrested Monday after authorities say he told his wife over the phone and via text message that he planned to shoot her and other people who got in his way. His wife is a Senate staffer and was working at the Capitol at the time.
The documents show Bogoslavski also told his wife he planned to die himself at the hands of police. Authorities seized guns from his house in Cheverly, Maryland, a Washington suburb.
A federal judge has ordered him detained pending trial.
