A police ambush, like one in Dallas that left five cops dead, has been stopped before it could happen, the FBI announced in Texas Monday.
'FBI Corpus Christi and local partners have thwarted another mass casualty attack,' the federal agency revealed in a tweet.
'FBI Corpus and @CorpusChristiPD arrested Seth aka Andrea Gregori today on state charges filed by @NuecesCoDA after he planned an attack on police similar to the 2016 Dallas ambush.'
Investigators in the Lone Star State have not revealed specific details on the planned attack.
The July 7, 2016 ambush in Dallas started off with a march for 'Black Lives Matters,' where an estimated 800 demonstrators filled the streets of downtown as they protested the deaths of two black men killed by cops in Louisiana and Minnesota.
About 100 officers escorted protestors through downtown to keep cars away from them and for overall safety.
A discharged Army vet, Micah Johnson, living in the Dallas area saw the protest as 'an opportunity' to attack police officers.
