Four Mass Shootings Have Been Thwarted Since the El Paso Massacre, Authorities Say

In the two weeks since the gun massacre in El Paso, Texas, federal and local authorities have thwarted four additional threats they said could have resulted in mass attacks. All four of the alleged plotters—in Nevada, Connecticut, Florida, and Ohio—were heavily armed young white men. At least three of the four appear to have harbored hateful far-right views, especially toward Jewish, African American, and LGBTQ people. This latest wave of threats suggests an escalating danger: According to a recent Mother Jones investigation, in the past 10 months alone there have been at least six deadly gun rampages across the United States linked to far-right views, including the attack in El Paso, the massacre at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, and a lethal shooting at the Chabad of Poway synagogue near San Diego.
