RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Police in Richmond, Virginia, said Wednesday that they thwarted a planned July 4 mass shooting after receiving a tip that led to the arrest of two men and the seizure of multiple guns — an announcement that came just two days after a deadly mass shooting on the holiday in a Chicago suburb. … Police initiated an investigation, along with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and FBI, which led to the arrests of two men on charges of being a non-U.S. citizen in possession of a firearm. Additional charges are possible, Smith said.
Officers seized two assault rifles, a handgun and hundreds of rounds of ammunition from a residence where the firearms and “related material” were in plain view, Smith said.
The two men were being held without bond at a local jail, the chief said.

arrests of two men on charges of being a non-U.S. citizen in possession of a firearm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the last you’ll ever hear of this.
Names and face pics, please.
The big old trees in town are what makes Richmond a once beautiful city.
Wow! Not white supremacist, Christian, male, hetro...."!?!?!
“an announcement that came just two days after a deadly mass shooting on the holiday in a Chicago suburb”
Seems they arrested them before July 4 but held off announcing until now. Does anyone have any further details, like the names of those arrested? Normally there’d be an arraignment in open court a day or two after the arrests.
There were also mass shooting prevented in most cities, towns, villages, hamlets and Census Designated Places this Fourth of July. All prevented by Common Sense and Morality and more that just a smidge of Religion.
When did these two “immigrated” and who helped them cross the border and gave them transportation to VA with other benefits?
Somewhere, some FBI agent is PISSED!!!!

Thanks for the link
(and charged with being a non-U.S. citizens)
Editors? Who needs them?
Maybe was easy to track.
The DHS has successfully infiltrated the FBI!
Honduran, maybe?
Julio Alvardo-Dubon, 52
Rolman Balacarcel, 38,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Non-citizens, but no description of their immigration status or nationality.
Illegal alien? Likely, green card holders can buy weapons.
From that foxnews link:
Two illegal immigrants, 52-year-old Julio Alvarado-Dubon and 38-year-old Rolman Balacarcel, were arrested and charged with being a non-U.S. citizens in possession of a gun after police uncovered a plot that the duo planned a mass shooting at Richmond’s July 4 celebration Monday.
At a press conference Wednesday, Smith said that police investigated Alvarado-Dubon based on a tip to police by someone he would only refer to as a “hero citizen.” Police investigated the claims and found Alvarado-Dubon was in possession of two rifles, one handgun, and 223 rounds of ammunition. He was arrested on July 1, while Balacarcel was placed under surveillance and eventually arrested on the same charges on Tuesday.
Smith addressed reports that one of the suspects has been deported several times and continued to reenter the country illegally, saying that it was “frustrating” that a person could continue to break the law and have an opportunity to still plan out a mass murder.
No no, dear Laz...
...it was the FBI agent that MADE to tip because he found out his ‘subject’ was taking a friend with him, thus blowing the ‘lone wolf’ narrative.
just my $0.02
These are foreigners, probably illegal. They can just be quietly shipped out of the country or just disappeared. No arraignment or trial necessary and undesired if the Narrative would be violated.
