"I'm coming for you": Hawaii man charged in plot to kill Michigan governor

A Honolulu man has been charged with threatening to kill Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and carry out a mass shooting at the state Capitol.

Ronald Saville, 48, emailed Michigan State Police on May 9, saying he planned to enter the Capitol with an AR-15 and "open fire and kill as many people as possible. I mean what I say I'm not a joke," according to court records and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Hawaii.

Saville also emailed Whitmer, telling her he was coming to Lansing on "Tuesday second" and warning that the city "is never going to be the same again."

"...going to walk into the state capitol shoot it up and kill as many people as possible then I'm coming for you," Saville wrote.

Three days later, Saville called the FBI and told an agent he wanted to kill Whitmer because of her political affiliation.

Saville said he had been researching online and planning a trip to Michigan to carry out the threats, adding that he still intended to do so, according to the attorney's office.
