After Ossining police officers arrived to the scene, Skulstad allegedly yelled, “I’m Jesus Christ! You are going to die today! Are you ready to die?” at one of the officers. Before cops were able to take him into custody, Skulstad "charged" a police vehicle on foot, threw himself into the police vehicle and yelled threats at another officer, the criminal complaint alleged.
Officers later found a shell casing and a notebook with a page that said “List – To Kill” with the names of multiple current and former public officials and other public figures. Authorities did not disclose the names of the list.
