In the wake of mass shootings in Dayton and El Paso, authorities in Lubbock may just have averted a similar situation
LUBBOCK, Texas — U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas, Erin Nealy Cox announces that a Lubbock man allegedly contemplating a mass shooting has been charged by criminal complaint with making false statements to a federally-licensed firearms dealer.
Another potential shooting has been averted.
William Patrick Williams, 19, was arrested by special agents of ATF and FBI Thursday, following a brief hospitalization. He made his initial appearance in court Friday morning.
According to a criminal complaint unsealed on Friday August 2, back on July 13, Mr. Williams allegedly told his grandmother he had recently purchased an AK-47 rifle and planned to “shoot up” a local hotel and then commit suicide by cop. Sensing he was both homicidal and suicidal, she convinced him to allow her to bring him to a local hospital instead.
