The man arrested in connection to a shooting at the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) field office in Tempe, Ariz., may have been planning a mass casualty event, Maricopa County prosecutor Neha Bhatia said in court Wednesday, according to The Associated Press.
At Kelly’s first court appearance Wednesday, Bhatia said the vast amount of ammunition and equipment discovered led authorities to believe “this person was preparing to commit an act of mass casualty.”
Kelly was accused of shooting at the DNC Tempe office, which shares its office space with Vice President Harris’s campaign, three separate times: Sept. 16, Sept. 23 and Oct. 6.
