Federal investigators say a U.S. Postal Service employee has been arrested after alleged online threats involving a Pride event in Texas. According to the FBI, USPS worker Michael Thompson was taken into custody following social media posts that threatened a mass shooting at a Pride parade in Lubbock, Texas. The reports identify Thompson as a resident of Clovis, New Mexico. Fox News and the New York Post both state that the arrest follows the FBI’s involvement in reviewing the threats and that the case centers on the alleged intent expressed through the posts.

Both outlets present the same core allegation: that Thompson, a USPS employee, posted threats online targeting the Lubbock Pride event and was later arrested by authorities. The matter is ongoing, and the information provided reflects the agencies’ statements described in the reports.
