A Texas man identified as Seth “Andrea” Gregori has been apprehended for allegedly orchestrating a “mass casualty event” targeting law enforcement officers. According to a police source, Gregori was in the process of “transitioning” genders, which has become a focal point of the case. Even though his driver’s license lists him as male, the Nueces County jail records reportedly registered Gregori as “female.” This revelation has fed into the speculation surrounding his gender identity, especially as different names are being used by law enforcement agencies in their communications regarding the suspect.
Described by some as a ‘would-be terrorist’, Gregori was allegedly attempting to carry out an attack on the Corpus Christi Police Department (CCPD). The FBI’s Houston office revealed that Gregori’s plans were reminiscent of the horrific 2016 Dallas police ambush where Micah Xavier Johnson executed a brutal attack, killing five officers and injuring nine, motivated by racial tensions between black communities and white police officers.
Amid the media spotlight, Gregori’s gender identity has been inconsistently reported. A local news outlet referred to Gregori using female pronouns, whereas others have used his birth name. Pictures released by the CCPD show Gregori with long hair, which only served to intensify the debate regarding his transition. The Daily Caller’s line of questioning underscores a desire to cut through obfuscation often seen in mainstream media’s treatment of similar subjects.
The case, already fraught with tension, took an even more sinister turn with a tip-off received by a joint FBI task force in early February, revealing Gregori’s alleged affinity towards certain police officers and documenting his recent purchase of an AR-style rifle. Citing an affidavit, a report stated that Gregori had the rifle in his backpack at the time of arrest.
Questions arise over why Gregori was targeting “white cops,” as per KENS5 News, who would leave “Black and Mexican cops” unharmed. Given this backdrop, mainstream media’s varied coverage perhaps obscures the real motivations behind Gregori’s intentions, avoiding a deeper conversation on why divisions in discussions about law enforcement and race persist.

In a separate episode in 2018, Gregori, aged only 14, was listed as missing alongside Jonathan Gregori but was later found. Now aged 21, Seth “Andrea” Gregori is involved yet again with law enforcement, with a pre-file case listed under the name “Andrea Lozano Gregori.” This person, who through this horrifying episode has been thrust into the national conversation, also had prior misdemeanor charges including fleeing from the police in 2023 and criminal trespassing in 2024.

This raises valid questions about Gregori’s history and how many chances were given before the ultimate plan for a deadly assault was discovered. In this era of progressive narratives often found in liberal media, one must ask if an overemphasis on gender identity clouds the real threats to public safety and the pressing concerns this case raises.
