Man who threatened attack at NYC Pride March pleads guilty

A New York man who sent more than 20 letters threatening the LGBTQ community, including an attack at New York City's pride march, pleaded guilty in federal court Wednesday, prosecutors said.

Robert Fehring, 74, of Bayport on Long Island, around 50 miles east of Manhattan, sent threatening letters since at least 2013, according to court documents.

One of the letters was sent last year to the director of a group that organizes New York City pride events, and it threatened the New York City Pride March. The letter threatened “firepower” that it said “will make the 2016 Orlando Pulse nightclub shooting look like a cakewalk.”
