A Desert Hot Springs man has been arrested for allegedly plotting to kill police officers and civilians, police announced Saturday.
The Desert Hot Springs Police Department learned of the plot Friday, Nov. 3, after getting a tip from an acquaintance of the suspect, the department said. Oscar Rene Parra Rincon, 39, was "actively and imminently planning to hunt and ambush police officers," the department said.
Rincon had illegally obtained ammunition to fulfill his plan, which included firing at civilians so that he could then shoot at responding officers, the DHSPD said.

Reference the Manhattan Truck Attack -

According to federal court papers, he said:
The attack was a year in the planning and he carried out a trial run with a rental truck last month
He intentionally chose Halloween because he believed there would be more people in the streets
He originally planned to target the Brooklyn Bridge as well
He wanted to display Islamic State (IS) flags on the truck, but decided not to draw attention to himself
He was inspired by 90 graphic and violent propaganda videos found on his phone - in particular, one in which IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi asks what Muslims are doing to avenge deaths in Iraq.
