Police in Boston have said they thwarted a potential massacre at the Pokemon World Championship.
Security forces detained James Austin Stumbo, 27, and Kevin Norton, 18, for “threats of violence made over social media,” as they attempted to gain entry to the contest on Thursday.
A day later, police secured a warrant to search the men’s car parked a few blocks from the event. They found weapons in the vehicle: a shotgun, AR-15 assault rifle, a hunting rifle, and 250 rounds of ammunition.
Stumbo and Norton had no license to hold firearms.
The two men, from Iowa, were arrested on Saturday at a motel in Saugus, Massachusetts, and now face charges for unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition.
The search and arrest came after Stumbo and Norton posted a picture of their car and weapons in a Facebook group called “Mayhem Pokemon Crew” (the post has now been taken down).
