A Punta Gorda man was sentenced to two years in prison for threatening a mass shooting in 2019.
Thomas McVicker told a friend he was going to “shoot up” a church in Memphis, and investigators said when they arrested him in Indianapolis nearly a year ago, he had a Ruger 9mm semi-automatic handgun, five 9mm magazines (one loaded), one magazine assist loader, and two full boxes of 50 rounds of 9mm ammunition.
McVicker, 39, told authorities that he has a history of mental health issues.
He pleaded guilty in April to interstate transmission of threat to injure.
