Man Arrested for Threatening to Kill Rep. Pramila Jayapal
---------------------------------------------------------

A 48-year-old has been arrested in Seattle on suspicion of hate crime
after he allegedly threatened to kill Congressmember Pramila Jayapal.
Officers found the man outside Jayapal's home Saturday night with a
.40-caliber handgun holstered on his waist. A neighbor reportedly
overheard the man yell, "Go back to India. I'm going to kill you."
Jayapal is the first Indian American woman to serve in the House of
Representatives.
