"Police have foiled an alleged plot to carry out a mass shooting at this weekend's Pokémon World Championships after two gunmen apparently boasted about their violent 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!!!'. Norton, meanwhile, had joked in a comment about 'killing the competition' at the event."
