BOSTON (AP) – A second man has been arrested in the case connected to the Massachusetts man who was fatally shot by terrorism investigators as they sought to question him about a possible plot to kill police officers.
Nicholas Rovinski, of Warwick, R.I., was arrested Thursday and was expected to appear in federal court Friday, when the charges against him will be announced, said Christina DiIorio-Sterling, a spokeswoman for federal prosecutors in Boston.
Federal authorities say Boston resident Usaama Rahim plotted for at least a week to attack police. He was shot to death when police and federal agents confronted him last week.
Rahim’s nephew David Wright was arrested in the case, charged with conspiracy to obstruct a federal investigation.
Rovinski was in custody and couldn’t be reached for comment. A telephone call to his house rang unanswered, and a woman inside yelled through the front door to a reporter outside, “Get out of here.”
