A Texas man is going to prison after threatening to kill a Walmart employee he used to play online video games with, according to federal authorities.

In his plea agreement signed earlier this year, 26-year-old Rogelio Salas, Jr admitted he called a Walmart store in McCook, Nebraska, on Jan 8 and “made a specific threat to kill (a specific employee)”. He implied he was in the parking lot with a rifle and explosives.
