A La Quinta man was arrested on suspicion of making an online threat to shoot people at a Palm Springs “No Kings” rally.
Edward Miranda, 28, was booked into the Benoit Detention Center in Indio on Saturday on suspicion of making criminal threats and violating civil rights, police said.
He was out on $200,000 bail on Sunday.
According to the Palm Springs Police Department, shortly after 2 p.m. Friday, officers were notified of an online threat to target attendees at Saturday’s rally. In collaboration with the FBI, Miranda was identified as the suspect and search warrants were served at his residence on Eisenhower Drive in La Quinta and another residence in San Bernardino County, authorities said.
A firearm allegedly belonging to Miranda was seized at one of the properties, and he was taken into custody without incident.
“We take all threats to public safety seriously and will vigorously pursue those intent on committing violence in our community,” Palm Springs Police Chief Andrew Mills said.
The investigation remains ongoing.
Anyone with additional information about the alleged threat was urged to contact the department at 760-327-1441, or anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 760-341-7867.
