Mon Jul 20, 2026 - 12:56 pm EDT OMAHA, Nebraska (LifeSiteNews) — A Nebraska man was arrested for threatening to commit a mass shooting at a Catholic school with the specific intention of killing nuns and the children of Nebraska’s devout Catholic Governor Jim Pillen.
Ean Halstead, 32, was taken into custody after a standoff with law enforcement on Friday.
Halstead reportedly has a history of violent threats and was previously convicted of threatening an “ex-boyfriend” and setting his bedroom on fire, according to local news outlet KFOR.
On June 26, Halstead posted a message on the Facebook page for Columbus Catholic Schools that read, “I’m going to shoot up this school and kill Jim Pillen’s children and a few nuns for (expletive) funsies.” Although posted under the name “Bobby McGee,” law enforcement was able to trace the post back to Halstead.
During a search of Halstead’s apartment, investigators discovered electronic devices linking him to the threats, and he was charged with making terroristic threats and destruction of evidence.
Halstead is being held in a Douglas County Jail.
“Nebraska law enforcement takes threats against our schools seriously, and the Nebraska State Patrol will continue to use every resource available to protect students, staff, and our communities. I want to thank our dedicated team for their professionalism, teamwork, and commitment to keeping Nebraskans safe. This investigation reflects the importance of preparation, collaboration, and the strong partnerships that allow swift and effective response to this type of incident. We are thankful for a safe outcome for all involved,” Colonel Bryan Waugh, superintendent of the Nebraska State Patrol, said.
Dave Lopez, chief of staff to Governor Pillen, said, “We are extremely grateful to the dedicated investigators of the Nebraska State Patrol and allied law enforcement agencies for their quick and thorough work to track down this individual and ensure the security of the First Family.”
“We have zero tolerance for political violence here in Nebraska, including threats to carry it out. If you threaten violence against a public official or their family in this state, you will be found and held accountable. The heated political rhetoric that too often leads to radicalization and violence must cool off,” he added.

I believe him.
Violent, nuts and gay is no way to go through life.
The po-po believed him, as well ... and now he’s off the streets and very much in trouble.
Also, I object to this creep using the name “Bobby McGee”. Janis Joplin’s boyfriend was just a peace-loving flower child.
I wonder if the Daily Mail and The Guardian will report this.
One of Satan’s red hot dog boyz.
The DM most likely - it’s one of several news sites I visit. Seattle showed up several times in the DM.
Seems way too happy considering he’ll be going to jail.
Hey, give him a break. He is just proving gays are just as mentally ill as trannys.
Maybe he thinks it'll be fun being the inmates' whore.
Locked up with a bunch men ...
That’s not a happy smile.
It’s a demonic rictus.
He’s going to be The Belle Of The Ball.
The fact that he is homosexual does not matter nearly as much as the fact that he threatened to ‘kill children and a few nuns”. That is the horror show, not what he does for kicks. His gayness is very likely an extenuating circumstance, this is true, but the intended slaughter of innocents is the real crime against humanity. That headline should have been better edited.
His penchant for perversion is an aggravating circumstance and likely a contributing factor. The headline conveys an "Unspeakable Truth".
gay violence is real, and serious
Also, I object to this creep using the name “Bobby McGee”. Janis Joplin’s boyfriend was just a peace-loving flower child.
