Last week a police officer was killed in an ambush while responding to a car crash, with a gunman laying in wait opportunistically and unrelated to the crash, before other police killed the attacker in a shootout.
As it turns out, the gunman, 37 year old male Mohamed Barakat was armed with 1800 rounds of ammunition, 3 rifles, 4 pistols, homemade explosives and a hand grenade and canisters of gasoline, all while the Downtown Fargo Street Fair and Red River Valley Fair were going on nearby with many people congregating, and presumably one or either of them was the original target. Since the terrorist was killed before he got to put whatever his plan was in motion, we won't know, but one police officer died and other officers and fire fighters wound up saving lots of lives.

The google history of the terrorist including searching for crowded events nearby, besides googling up weapons and mass killing methods
It does raise a it of a question of whether any sort of NSA red flag trawling actually exists because this guy was literally searching all the keywords you'd expect if someone was trying to DIY a terrorist attack
So he was probably targeting either the downtown fargo street fair or the red river valley fair, and just tried to shoot some cops en route

Hey, I'm walking distance from where this took place. I was at that fair when it happened, too. Fun times. Good food.

Its not exactly Diverse and welcoming up there. Nearby Brainerd got all locals to petition to ban refugee resettlement there for example.

Worked the Fargo Fair many many years ago, place is white as hell. What was Mohamad doing up there? Resettled refugee? Oil field prospecting? School?
