A US Coast Guard lieutenant who was 'dreaming of a way to kill almost every last person on Earth' is due in court for a detention hearing this afternoon.

Prosecutors are calling Christopher Paul Hasson a domestic terrorist.

He was arrested on gun and drug charges last week.

Agents found 15 firearms and over 1,000 rounds of ammunition in his Maryland home.

Prosecutors say he had compiled a hit list that included House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
