Police foil plot to carry out 'mass shooting' at Pokémon World Championships after gunmen boast of plans on social media
Kevin Norton, 18, and James Stumbo, 27, attracted investigators' attention after they reportedly threatened to cause harm to thousands of attendees at the tournament in Boston, Massachusetts.
Although the details of these threats remain unclear, Stumbo had posted a photo of a 12-gauge shotgun and an AR-15 rifle, laid on the back of a white car, on Facebook earlier this week.
Alongside the image, he had written: 'Kevin Norton and I are ready for Worlds. Boston here were come!!!'. He had also joked about 'killing the competition' at the popular video game event.
Neither Norton nor Stumbo could produce a license to carry.

How weird is that?
Glad they were caught before they could shoot up a lot of innocent people.
