Woman threatened to shoot Trump with her Glock at Daytona rally

Florida Woman Arrested After Alleged Threat Against Trump at Daytona Rally

Threats against President Donald Trump have become a serious concern, especially after several unsuccessful assassination attempts. But the number of threats does not make any one of them acceptable.

A reported social-media post from a Florida woman quickly drew law enforcement attention after it appeared to target Trump at a Daytona Beach rally.

The woman, identified as Allison Albro, was described in the report as a Trump opponent. She allegedly posted a selfie and wrote: “Going to the trump rally in my city tmr so I can sh—t him with my glock! Wish me luck guys!!”

Albro was reportedly in jail facing charges for “written threats to kill” as well as “unlawful use of a communications device.” Those are allegations and charges, not a finding of guilt. Still, the case illustrates the risk of treating violent language as harmless internet humor, especially when it names a public figure and refers to a specific rally.

A separate social-media post about the incident likewise said Albro was in jail after allegedly claiming she planned to shoot Trump at the Daytona Beach event. It also repeated that the Volusia County Sheriff’s Domestic Security Unit and Secret Service had reportedly gone to her home within hours.
