Man accused of planning mass murder at Ann Arbor Social Security office

[alp227]

Federal investigators say Daniel Norton is a dangerous man who may have been planning a mass murder and escape into the wilderness.

The Ypsilanti man was out on bond for making violent threats against workers at an Ann Arbor Social Security office. Then, on Wednesday, Homeland Protective Services looked in the trunk of his car and found an arsenal of weapons similar to an AR-15 assault rifle, body armor, ammunition, a generator and meals ready to eat like the ones used by the military.

In court, the feds said Norton had enough weapons to kill every person at the Ann Arbor office and enough survival gear to disappear forever.

"Not only does he makes the threats but he's got the will to carry it out," said Andy Arena, of the Detroit Crime Commission.

3. We really, really need a registry of people that buy a certain amount of weapons.

With extra attention given to them by DHS.

Because not all of them are stupid enough to make threats before carrying out their murder fantasy.
