Ex-officer accused of plotting New Orleans attack is released after jury declines to indict

TL;DR

Christopher Gillum, a white former law enforcement officer, was released from custody after a grand jury declined to indict him on a state terrorism charge.
Gillum was arrested in Florida with ammunition and a handgun while en route to Louisiana, accused of planning to commit a mass shooting targeting Black people.
Authorities cited jurisdictional issues, stating the threats occurred in North Carolina and Gillum had not entered Louisiana before his arrest.
Gillum's family had reported him missing and indicated a history of self-harm; he has since been taken to a treatment facility.
It is unclear if Gillum faces charges in North Carolina or Florida, and his release was not previously reported.
