Authorities said John A. Threlfall previously threatened to burn down the Cowlitz Indian Tribe residential complex and kill everyone inside.

Threlfall also left a threatening message for one of his sisters who lives in Idaho but was in town on April 8th. He reportedly said, “There will be murder of all of you (expletive).”
Threlfall has filed first degree arson, drive-by shooting and second degree assault with a deadly weapon from the Cowlitz county after a road traffic incident and subsequent altercation with police in late March in which authorities said he had his house in Kelso afterwards burned down triggering explosives inside. According to reports, the two sisters from Threlfall told MPs, “They were afraid of what their brother would do.”
