The mass shooting plot by Luqmaan Khan, a 25-year-old Pakistan born American citizen, was unearthed during a random traffic in Newcastle County, Delaware.
Just before midnight on Monday, November 24, Khan was held at a traffic stop when he refused to exit the Toyota Tacoma. Later, as the police conducted a search of the vehicle, refused to cooperate and resisted arrest. Police searched the truck when he was stopped and found a significant cache of weapons and tactical gear

The arsenal included, a .357 Glock pistol, numerous loaded 27-round ammunition magazines, and body armor plates. The pistol was fitted into a kit which converted it into a semi-automatic rifle, according to prosecutors.
Cops also found a notebook filled with handwritten notes detailing a plot to use those weapons to shoot up his former school’s campus police department, with a map of its headquarters drawn out and marked with planned entrance and exit points.
The notes which included phrases like “kill all – martyrdom” throughout, detailed how to evade capture after the planned mass shooting, as well as explaining how a number of other weapons would be used.
Police said evidence collected all depicted “premeditated assault plans” and obvious “warfare techniques.”
The full motivation behind the alleged attack remains unclear, but Khan allegedly told police after his arrest that becoming a martyr was “one of the greatest things you can do.”
One campus police officer was named in the plans, though it remains unclear why.

After the arrest, the FBI raided Khan’s Wilmington home and recovered more of his arsenal.

Eleven other extended magazines were also found, as were deadly hollow-point bullets and a bullet proof vest.
None of the weapons found in Khan’s possession were registered.

Luqmaan Khan allegedly, was also plotting a violent attack on his school’s police department.
