Man suspected of planning mass shooting at Walmart store arrested in Texas

A man suspected of planning a mass shooting was arrested in Texas after authorities intercepted a message that indicated he was ‘preparing to proceed’, the Kerr County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) said in a statement on Sunday. Coleman Thomas Blevins, 28, made a specific threat to target a local Walmart store, KCSO said in the statement posted on Facebook. The Sheriff's Office posted an image of evidence apparently collected from Belvins' apartment that showed a rifle with multiple magazines, a flag with Nazi party symbols and a flag. Books and hand-written documents were also seized by investigators. The statement did not specify what kind of message had alerted authorities, but after intercepting it KCSO confirmed, with the help of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), that Belvin had the capability to follow through with the threat.
