Texas Police Stop Mass Attack Plot | Lubbock News

Texas law enforcement thwarted a potential mass casualty attack on July 4th last year, earning a state Unit Citation for their swift action. A 19-year-old, Kevin Hunt, was arrested after investigators uncovered disturbing online plans for a mass attack, including target reconnaissance right before the holiday. He’s now facing federal charges for attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and is set for sentencing next month, with a state trial looming later this year. A search of his home revealed an arsenal of firearms, loaded magazines, explosive components, and DIY bomb-making manuals. He admitted to crafting explosive compounds. The plot deepened when a co-conspirator was indicted on state charges for hindering prosecution and tampering with evidence—she was apprehended in California and returned to Texas. This case underscores the critical need for vigilant law enforcement. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
