Man's 'kill manifesto' outlined plot to shoot males at Virginia church over failed prayer and lack of romance, police say
Virginia police say that a man who was arrested at a church with a gun and a knife was plotting
a violent attack after being upset that prayer didn't work and he couldn't find a romantic relationship.
35-year-old Rui Jiang of Falls Church was arrested in September at the Park Valley Church in Haymarket after police received a tip about his alleged plot against the church.
The tip was made by a woman who had met Jiang from a dating app and went out on a date with him in 2023 but stopped seeing him. She became alarmed after seeing his posts on social media that appeared to express hostility toward the church and Christianity. One allegedly read, "Blood will be on your hands."
Police questioned her, and when they went to the church, they found that their security had already spotted him and was escorting him from the building. They said that he was tapping on glass and doing other things that made it look like he was "casing" the church.
