It seems the plot to shoot Kamala Harris' The campaign office is much more sinister than we first thought. More than 120 weapons were found in the suspect's home.
As was mentioned with TMZ. More details are surfacing about Jeffrey Michael Kelly. Arizona District Attorney Neha Bhatia claims the man accused of shooting up the Democratic National Committee office had more than 120 different firearms at his residence. More alarmingly, over 250,000 rounds of ammunition were also discovered on the same property. On Wednesday (Oct. 23), Bhatia says federal agents discovered some disturbing accessories, including silencers, body armor and scopes. In addition, a machine gun was also found in his personal vehicle. Given the firepower, the prosecutor strongly believes that “this individual was preparing to commit an act of mass casualty.”
Local police allege Jeffrey Michael Kelly fired BBs at the Democrat's Tempe office and followed things up with additional live rounds that left visible damage to the windows. Fortunately no one was present during the incident. This is not the first time Kelly has been accused of being a threat to the Democratic Party. He is also accused of hanging political signs with razor blades and bags of white powder labeled “BIOHAZARD.”
Kelly faces multiple charges, including three felony counts of terrorism. His lawyer says he is a retired aerospace engineer and poses no risk because of his clean criminal record. The suspect is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 29 in Maricopa County Superior Court. That office is supporting local campaign efforts to elect Kamala Harris in the presidential election.
