Time has an article by Tanya Basu about another terrorist attack thwarted:
The Boston Police Department (BPD) arrested two gunmen who threatened “violence” at the city’s Pokemon World Championship, the BPD announced Sunday.
Kevin Norton, 18, and James Stumbo, 27, were both arrested and charged with unlawful possession of a firearm.
The incident began developing when security officers at the Hynes Convention Center— host of the Pokemon World Championships— contacted the Boston Regional Intelligence Center (BRIC) about threats made on social media against attendees.
Norton and Stumbo, who had driven in from Iowa, were stopped from entering the event when officers found several firearms in their car. The pair was unable to provide a license to carry; after being held, they were released.
A search of the vehicle turned up some disturbing arsenal (photo, above), including a shotgun, a rifle, several hundred rounds of ammunition, and a hunting knife. Norton and Stumbo were arrested in what city officials hailed as a “great job in the prevention of a potential tragedy.”
