“Today I received another threat. I want to send a message. I don’t run and I don’t hide. If you threaten or approach my family I will take appropriate action. That’s not a threat, that’s a promise,” he said.

“You’re angry. You’re frustrated. I completely understand. We all are. But don’t threaten my family.”

His office has issued a statement in response, in which Doherty says he and his family are safe and he thanked everyone for their support.
