Phoenix police arrested a 49-year-old man on Sept. 17 after he threatened to attack an LGBTQ+ bar and told officers he considered conservative activist Charlie Kirk a “martyr,” according to court records.

Police said Treven Michael Gokey called the Solari Crisis Line to report he was feeling “triggered by political events.” In the 14-minute call, he allegedly threatened to “shoot up” Cruisin’ 7th, a gay bar near 7th Street and Osborn Road in Midtown. While he admitted to not currently having a firearm, he said they are accessible "because it is America," according to court records.
