It’s just breaking via Bill Melugin that Homeland Security police and Capitol police arrested a man who was wearing a ski mask and had an AK47 as well as a full magazine just blocks away from the RNC.
The man was looking suspicious, which is why he was stopped by police. And, of course, he had no concealed carry permit for the guns he had.
Here’s more from Melugin:
Per federal law enforcement source, yesterday, HSI & Capitol Police surveilling the RNC secure perimeter stopped a suspicious man wearing a ski mask blocks away from Fiserv Forum. I’m told he had a AK47 pistol, a full magazine, & a Scream mask in a large backpack he was carrying. Milwaukee PD arrested him. Unknown what his plans or intentions were.
Milwaukee PD confirms they arrested a 21-year-old man who was carrying a concealed weapon & did not have a legal CCW permit. They sent me the following statement.
Secret Service referred me to Milwaukee PD, and I’ve reached out to DHS for comment. More details as they come.
An AK47, a ski mask and a Scream mask? Yeah, he was totally up to no good. Don’t know where he was headed but I won’t be shocked to find out it was the RNC.
