The man accused of threatening to kill his ex-wife and others in an act "like Wausau" appeared in Outagamie County court Thursday.
Song Leng Vang, 62, did not have an attorney and used an interpreter in court. He now needs to apply for a state public defender.
He has been charged with possession of a firearm, which violated a domestic abuse injunction.
Vang is accused of making threats to kill his ex-wife and others, comparing his plans to the Wausau-area shootings from March that left four people dead, according to police.
Vang's ex-wife called police on June 9 saying she was afraid he was going to try and kill her after two people told her he had made threats. He allegedly told his pastor "I just want to do what the guy in Wausau did," court documents said.
His bond continues and he will be back in court June 29.
