Insulting Muslim Americans by leaving bacon at their mosque wasn’t enough for a US Army reserve major. He then brandished a handgun and made death threats, according to the local sheriff’s office in North Carolina.
“He told people at the mosque that he would kill them and bury them behind the mosque,” said Capt. John Kivett of the Hoke County Sheriff’s Office on Friday in a statement to the press. “He brandished a weapon while he was on the property.”
The series of threats began Thursday afternoon when the suspect, US Army Reserve Major Russell Thomas Langford, insulted a mosque member doing construction work nearby and left two open packages of bacon at the entrance of the mosque, according to police authorities and witnesses.
Witnesses said Langford, a 36-year-old white male, left and returned in his car to the Masjid Al Madina mosque in Raeford, 20 miles from his home in Fayetteville, several times, prompting tense moments inside while children sheltered in the back of the building. He even followed one of the members home. Authorities were informed about the situation and later said there were no injuries.
