Grandma Prevented Mass Shooting in Texas
William Patrick Williams from the city of Lubbock (Texas) was planning a mass execution, but learning about his plans, the guy’s grandmother convinced him to go to the hospital and thereby saved the lives of many people.
19-year-old guy William Patrick Williams was arrested by the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) and the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) for planning a massacre and illegal possession of firearms. Writes about this CNN.
Williams allegedly planned mass executions and bought ammunition. He rented a hotel room where he planned to kill people. But his grandmother, learning about the plans of her grandson, still managed to convince the guy to go to the hospital.
Williams told his grandmother that he recently bought an AK-47 rifle, and plans to “shoot” the hotel and “then kill the police and himself.”

Grandmother was able to convince the guy to go to hospitalization even before his arrest.
Authorities hailed Grandma Williams’s bold actions, saying her intervention probably saved many lives.
“This was a tragedy prevented,” said prosecutor Neely Cox. “I want to commend the defendant’s grandmother, who saved lives, as well as the Lubbock Police officers and federal agents who investigated his illegal acquisition of a deadly weapon.”
Williams was arrested after hospitalization and gave investigators permission to search his hotel room.
Investigators found an AK-47 rifle, 17 stores for an assault rifle with ammunition and several knives in a Williams hotel room.
Other items found in the room included a black cloak, black tactical trousers, and a black T-shirt with the word Forward.

On July 21, the ATF received a firearms purchase form filled out on July 11, where Williams lied about his place of residence.
He was charged with falsifying the seller of a firearm. Crime is punishable by up to five years in federal prison.
“The FBI worked closely with our partners at the ATF and the Lubbock Police Department to prevent the defendant from potentially committing a violent act,” said Matthew DeSarno, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Dallas Field Office.
“This case is a great example of law enforcement coming together to find a solution and protect the public,” DeSarno added.
