Federal authorities arrested a transgender-identifying male suspect this month on multiple charges of communicating violent interstate threats, including threatening to replicate the March 27 shooting at a Christian private school in Nashville, Tennessee.

Authorities arrested Jason Lee Willie, who goes by Alexia Willie, on Nov. 8 on 14 counts of communicating interstate threats to cause injury. According to the indictment, the defendant made calls with numerous users of an online video-chatting platform, MeetMe, during which the defendant allegedly communicated threats to sexually accost children, injure and kill children, and violently attack others.
